Could you make a set of Camel bone for a standard Bearcat? I have one that Alan Harton fixed up for me, sure would like a set of those! Very nice workmanship.

Very nice workmanship. thanks! unfortunately I couldn't make them for the standard bearcat because I don't own one yet. That looks great. Have a knife with the same scales. Don't get them super bloody. The pores stain and turn brown over time but it looks cool also  I'll mail you a bearcat to fit some to on a standard bearcat Nice work buddy, thanks for sharing! |

I sure appreciate the offer but I hope to get a standard bearcat after I get a new flat top 44spl. and I know what you mean about the bone, before I upgraded to Ivory I had Camel Bone on my Colt Officers model and after a while they got pretty dirty lol. |

I was going to mention about Zeus's camel bone knife & blood. At first it looked very different & good. But if it "dirty's up" after time & use,,, maybe stay clear of any blood. That first coloring of camel with blood had a great look. I've kept that thought in the back of my mind a while. Good to know it may "change" over time.
Those grips look great!

Those grips look great! that's the unfortunate thing about bone, while it looks really great it's porous (some bone more so than others) and will catch all kinds of dirt and junk, not really a problem if the revolver or pistol is a safe queen but on a working sixgun it'll get dirty, but it can be a good look. thanks Tyrone! |

Purty!  That camel bone looks a lot like ivory. Nice touch! Perhaps it could be the new substitute for ivory instead of simulated ivory? I've never worked with bone, but from my attempts at knifemaking I understand by using a vacuum chamber certain types of wood can be impregnated with resin or something similar to seal the pores of the wood. Perhaps that could be used on bone to limit the grunge build up? That Bearcat makes me want to scrape up the funds for a regular stainless model. I don't want to change my OM and I think fancy stocks look better on stainless anyway. |

That is a nice looking Shopkeeper. Nice work on the stocks. My grandson's Shopkeeper wears a set of neat elk stags made by Sack Peterson. Your photography is OUTSTANDING !! He's going with me tomorrow to the James Farm (Jesse James) in Kearney, MO. The Travel Channel is doing a bit of film on the farm and the old-time shooting events held out there. I'm going to have him with me with his Cowboy hat, jeans, books & his Shopkeeper holstered in his Doc Barranti holster. I'm hoping he will get some attention from the camera guy! Bob  |
