yes - lots of cowboy-esque gun holsters being made on the leather forums I started down the casing, stamping, dying route but after much trial (and much error!) have ended up doing it all rather differently, seems to work though. Fingers crossed my odd methods will work on the bridle, as have heard sedgwicks leather is great quality. If it won't take the stamp then have a feeling i will need to dig deep and get hides custom dyed... *the sound of money sliding through fingers....* followed by *I hope I sell enough bracelets to justify this....*
