Judy,

Cool looking lid. I'll bet the crystals really light it up when it is all together. I like the 2 row border pattern you did around the conchos too. Different look. Rope cans are one of my favorite orders. I usually manage to move them up the line. I do quite a lot of inlays too. Hide is always popular. Exotics are fun too. I have some beaver tail I am going to inlay on one. Where are you getting that color can at? I mostly use the Smith Bros cans, but have a few that like those lighter ones. Do you make any goat string cans? They are pretty popular too. Some girls are carrying the goat cans as purses and I have source that has a mirror in the lid and a plastic pocket for a cosmetic case. If you want to trade some patterns let me know. Good job.

Bruce ,our customers usally bring the cans with them when they order the design that they want we just make it up as we go and then they tell us what they want and don't want and we take it from there.we did do a goat can cover for a purse for a child it was all pink.I don't know of any place that you can get the rope cans any cheaper do you? thanks judy

Judy,

I get some guys that bring me a can too. I usually piggyback an order for cans onto someone else's order who is an authorized resale customer for Smith Bros. Otherwise I have to order 10 cans at time (which I do on occasion). If it is just one or two cans and not a color I have on hand, I'll order them retail. Most of my award orders for cans have had the cans sponsored or donated to the organization already. I just have them send me the lids. I do the same for guys out of the area, just have them send me the lid if we use their can.

Last year at the Wickenburg and Elko leather shows, Latta Mfg (Kaufman, TX) had the thinner rope cans and the goat cans. Their price was pretty good. I am getting ready to order some goat cans soon. Personally I prefer the Sierra (Smith Bros) rope cans better, They are more durable for me. I have had them for about 25 years, and know they hold up.

Ropers keep their lariats (sp) in them to protect them.
