Please go vote! We've got about 1.5 hours left to vote for the People's Choice Award and this year its turned into a barn burner. I want to thank everyone thats already voted for the headstall Ryan Looper and I built. Its incredibly humbling to have received so many likes when there is so much other talent in this group of makers.

This pair of leggings was a ton of fun to build. A good friend brought me two big pieces of elephant and an idea, and there was actually enough to make these ranch pants that should last a couple of lifetimes. did an amazing job on the hardware. Each concho, the buckle, and the ring has 12k and 14k flowers and sterling overlaid scrolls, and it all really coordinates well with my tooling.

took the video and photos for these and really captured them incredibly well. I wish she lived closer so she could photograph all of my work.

I am blessed to have friends and customers who allow me to not only be creative but also challenge me and push me as a craftsman. Send me a dm or call me, and I'd be more than happy to help bring your ideas to life as well.

I'll have some English Bridle headstalls and a few pairs of harness split reins with me at Hamilton this weekend for the show. Let me know if you would like to see them, place an order, or have any repairs that you might need done.

For the days you have to punch cows at daylight and catch a board meeting after lunch.

This briefcase was a lot of fun to design and build for . It's been in my head for a while, and it feels really good to finally get it out and have it in the world.

Many thanks are due to for the design advice and to for carrying leather and materials that allow us to make high-quality pieces of functional art. The Mincer hardware from always compliments my tooling and stands out against the black two-tone really well.

There will be handmade bits, spurs, jewelry, and leather goods and you'll be hard pressed to find a better group of folks to hang out with.
