I finished this up last week and thought I'd post a few pictures of it. It was pretty rainy that day so the pictures weren't as good as I would have liked them to have been.

Very nice!
Congrats Mike.
Congrats Mike.
Good Lawd, Rusty! You never cease to astound me with your creations. Has the Smithsonian or the Museum of Modern Art approached you yet?
Thats what I asked Rusty. I said this was a work of art. Honestly I dont know if I could use it. Its worthy of just being a piece of artwork.

Stellar work, one of the nicest cases I have ever seen!
Thank you Will, I hope all is well with you and your wife!
Thank you sir for noticing! I always wonder if anyone notices the small things, I think many times they are overlooked.
Thanks again Mike, I hope you get a a lifetime of good out of it!
Thanks Al, I appreciate the nice comment! You know how big a fan of your work, always tasteful and beautiful cases.
Thanks you sir!
Thank you!
Ha ha, no I haven't heard from them, I won't hold my breath, lol. Thanks for the nice comment!
Thanks Ken, I appreciate it! You could use it everyday and doubt you'd ever wear it out, it tough as nails.
Thanks man, it's good to hear from you! I hope you've been well!
Thanks you!
Thank you Dean, I hope everything is going good in Dallas! I bet that new pool table is going play nice!
GORGEOUS ! ! ! !
Thanks Brian!
Thanks!
Thanks David!
Rusty you really are the best (casemaker and person) hope you and your wife are doing well.
Thank you Jason, we are doing pretty well. I've been meaning to check in with you!
Thank you again everyone for the nice comments, it makes a guy feel pretty good to hear!
You really have taken leather tooling to another level. Not sure everyone here realizes how far this is beyond what we normally see on cases.
On the other hand, I took my Rusty Melton Hustler case out today and had someone tell me it was the nicest case he had ever seen, and mine doesn't have ANY tooling! He's right though - it really is the best case ever.
