Sorry missed that. Thanks for the info. Butch

Very nice. Is there a special way you have to twist the fringe so that it stays?

I'd have to say some of those veiners look pretty cool for flower centers. I've never seen or tried that before. Thanks, Butch

Very nice Art. I wouldn't expect anything else.

Very nice and great idea. Butch

I can't tell you where to start, but I wish you the best. I've heard if you do what you love you'll never work another day in your life. Sounds good to me. Butch

My best time in the saddle was long ago. I started as a Horse Wrangler for Babbitt Ranches at Cedar Ranch for Bill Howell. From there I spent my time as a Cowpuncher at Pine Flats for Marion Perkins, Cowden Ranch for Marshall Hartman and the best job I've ever had in my life at Ft Rock Ranch for Jimmy Yarborough. All these ranches were in Northern Arizona. I regret quitting as a Cowpuncher, but no reason to look back now. Another reason I want to get to our property in Texas and live the life again.

David, I'm not an expert at saddles, but I sure like what I see. It sure looks like the time paid off. Great job. Butch

Here's what I did for one that I made. It may not be what you want but maybe you can get some other ideas from it. Butch Shoulder Holster

Very nice work Alison. I saw your stuff on facebook as well. Butch

Welcome Mike. I'm glad you clarified the name katsass. It could of been taken another direction. Be sure to add your website url to your posts. Again welcome. Butch

Very nice work.

Thank goodness for Uncle's. Welcome Butch

Thanks guys. I'll rethink the matted background next time. Butch

Ya it is. I made this one for friend's daughter. Critique is always welcome. Thanks, Butch I shouldn't have matted the back. It kind of hides the letters. Lesson learned. Just a couple more pics

Very clean looking. Nice looking billfold Butch

Those will definitely draw attention. Very nice. Butch

Very nice work Russ. Butch

My goodness Bob, does it get any better? Outstanding. Butch

Welcome. Very nice work. Butch

Unfortunately I forgot who said it, but box cutters are for just that, cutting open a box. I exclusively use a round knife and on very few occasions a rotary cutter. You have to keep the round knife sharp at all times; and some people don't like to do that. I have a metal ruler and a metal square I use when cutting straight lines. Below are a few links to Tandy. I've heard there are better, but you can use these links as a starting point. You can pick up a Rotary Cutter at a local Walmart for a lot cheaper. Round Knife Rotary Cutter Hope it helps. Butch

Sa.mar.i.tan "one who is compassionate and helpful to a person in distress" Looks like it went both ways Very cool. Butch

Nicely done brifpot. I did one awhile back and had a bugger of a time with the zipper. I haven't done one since but I will be soon. Butch

Thanks - I hope she likes it also. Glad you like it. Butch

Thanks guys. We'll find out tomorrow whether or not she likes it this way. Butch
