I just finished this one up yesterday and thought I'd post a few pictures of the case. It's a 2x4 envelope case and I think it turned out pretty nice. I can't wait for it to make it to him so he can look it over! Thank you Ryan for the chance to build this for you, I hope you love it!

I think this might be my favorite so far

Really great work
 
I absolutely love it. Looking forward to the day I can pick up my second Melton.

Thanks for posting,

Amazing work, Rusty! I'm liking the tan leather the more I see it in your cases.

My number is up in a few months to have my own Melton case made. I need to start coming up with ideas, for sure. :smile:
 
I really really love your work Rusty...they look so clean and exquisite...still waiting for my spot but I know its worth the wait! Thanks for sharing!
 
I can't count the compliments I get on my more simple Melton. Rusty hit a home run on mine.
This one, however, is a grand slam!
 
I love this case.


The design and execution are spectacular.




Congratulations!
 
Rusty

I can't wait to get my new case

I turned you loose to come with a design with the only request to add a cross into it.

You hit a home run!!!

Wow - thank you for your using your talents to make an heirloom for me to pass on to my kids.

Ryan, your case turned out oustanding. This is one of my favorite cases of all time and that's saying a lot!! Rusty's use of color created amazing depth.

Hopefully in the future he and I can work on project together that will be in the same universe as this one. :)

Major congrats,
JimmyK
 
Fantastic work Rusty,

a perfect, unique and original sheridan pattern with real depth. Can't wait to get my case from Ron Thomas with your awesome tooling.

Best,

Andreas

Hi Andreas, I'm so excited for you to get it, also I'm excited to see it myself assembled! Let me know when you hear from Ron and I would love to see some pictures when it arrives.
 
Rusty,

This could be your finest piece of work. Really, really well done! Great contrast and color. Congratulations!
