I'm making 3 leather holsters for my Max 9 and LCP. Since I like carved. Leather I'm going to carve them but can't decide on a design. They're all going to be flat on the outside with molding on the inside so they don't print. My last batch of holsters got Oak leaves 25 years ago. Before that I did the Western floral swirl thing. I just can't decide between those and something completely different. Technically the only one shoulder/OWB will be the outside of clothes but just like a good carved leather wallet it's nice to know it's mine. So what does everyone think? Western, Oak, Something else and what? Looking for ideas. These are ready to carve, stain and stitch!!!

Here's how they came out. My dogwood flowers looked like crap so I made them Poinsettias.
