Henry Rifle Forums

I have always liked the looks of these and I like to mess around with leather. So I thought I would give it a try and make one up up for the BB 357. Made several paper patterns before cutting up a good piece of leather and then just kinda trial and error after that. I left the lacing long for now as I want to make up a sling attachment piece and lace that in. I made the sheath for the Buck 192 knife, the wood and brass on that go with the rifle pretty good I think.

nicely done .... on a 357 it should serve you well

That looks nice I like the basket weave

You do very nice work, nice sheath and butt cuff! Best of luck with the sling.

That looks great. It has a real nice old frontier look to it. Good job.

Very nice work indeed.

Great job, snakebit. You certainly could mess around some more and sell them, maybe even sell enough to pay for your next Henry. Very nice work. Thanks for sharing the photos.

Very nice work, and the knife makes a great looking companion.

Thank you for all the kind words. I hope to retire this year and do more. There is something about leather,brass,wood and steel that plastic can't replicate. Henry's have it all.

That is wonderful workmanship, Snakebit. I'm always in awe of folks who can produce work like that.

Wow, that is very nice!

Very nice work!
I'm thinking of retiring this year too!!
