BUNKHOUSE RAMBLINGS

[Skeeter Lewis]

Thanks pards.
Yes, I do my own patterns, though I use motifs I've come across in Packing Iron and Cowboys & The Trappings of the Old West. I'm an illustrator, so the drawing aspect is okay for me.

Thats nice... Maby a shouid try it sometime.. Maby have to buy a book about sheridan carving.

[Skeeter Lewis]

Sheridan carving is a modern version of the traditional style. I have the book by Bill Gardner and Clinton Faye. Very interesting and useful - though the 19th century style is different...

[Boothill Bob]

Are there books and photos about it?

[Skeeter Lewis]

The book by Bill Gardner and Clinton Faye is 'Sheridan Style Carving'.

Howdy Pards!!

WoW!! I haven't been here in so long!! After some bad luck in life I am finally back in the saddle. Job loss due to a major fire at work that destroyed the dealership I worked for.....(No, I didn't light it! ) left me with limited funds to do leather work. As of now I am back at it and currently on the job search in western states and looking to relocate.......enough of that!

Check out some new work........MUCH MORE TO COME!!!!

[EE Taft]

Pickin' goin' good as always. Ya can't go wrong pickin'!

Right now the leather workin' is back in force and consuming a lot of my time but I still find time for family and music.

If that's for a customer they will be very happy!

[Marshal Will Wingam]

Welcome back, EE. That's some fine work. The balck really offsets the floral parts. Looks good.

[EE Taft]

That rig is for the 2011 winner of my raffle for the St. Judes Charity Shoot.......

......Customer loves it....and it's for the kids......Can't get much better than that!

EE, that is a beauty for sure.

Well I haven't posted anything up for a while so I figured I'd show my new purse I made the other day

I had accumulated some less than perfect but too large to throw out 4-5 oz pieces and figured it would be just right to make me a new/old looking hunting pouch.

I got some ideas from T. C. Albert's book and here's what I came up with.

[GunClick Rick]

I lookin at a suede cowhide one right now just about like that one..Of cousre i'd rather have one like yours,but mine is only 31.00 and a single pouch. I can also ad what i want to it.
