BerettaSV10 Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 Shes made a nice job of them, perhaps she should start selling them on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mel b3 Posted September 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 we did talk about it but decided that it would be impossible to make a profit due to the cost of the high quality leather and the time it takes to make each bespoke bag , i cant wait until she makes my matching shotgun slip and rifle case , ill never use them of course because ill be scared to get mud or blood on them lol , bernie garland gave me one of his handmade knives about five years ago as a gift for breeding him a few decent ferrets , it lived in the cupboard because i was scared that id lose it while i was out on the fields lol.

mel b3 Posted November 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 i thought id post a couple of pics of another shotgun slip that my good lady has made , this one was made for a customer (another pw member) , the gun slip looks ok in the pics but in the flesh it looks absolutely stunning, its made slightly differently to mine (little upgrades )and should last for years. hope you like it fellas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lksopener Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Recieved my certificate holder and it's really the bees knees. Superbly well made and perfect for my FAC and shotgun Certs. Many thanks mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deny essex Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 (edited) Real nice workmanship oops! workfemship , I dont wanna get pulled over by the PC police on here. My father was an old time master cobbler and as a youngster I remember making leather wallets, belts and other small leather goods with him for a bit of extra christmas cash, a lot of the stitching in leather type binding.
