Wyoming Slick......
I've read your post three or four times now trying to understand your point. I can only assume that the tone of your comments relate back to some earlier discussion that I'm not aware of. If your point is that you are a Stohlman deciple than you are in very good company, but I think you could probably have stated that without throwing down the guantlet. If your point was that you had the opportunity to learn from more of the greatest leather artists than the rest of us, then why the animosity? Most folks just come here for support and encouragement and to share their enthusiasm and knowledge...not to start an arguement. But if you're looking for a debate on styles or workmanship, or whatever....then I'm your huckleberry!
