Rugged Cross Saddlery

The way God blessed me in being able to go to a saddle building school, the wonderful "deals" He has given me finding equipment and tools and the work He has brought in for me I had to find a way to honor God in my business.

The Old Rugged Cross is one of my very favorite hymns. The first time I really remember hearing that song was in 1973 at my grandfathers funeral. During that song is the oly time I remember seeing my father cry. He helped me financially and with words of support and taught me my business ethic. Had to figure a way to honor him also.

Black Canyon Leather

Many years ago I lived in Phoenix close to the Black Canyon Highway. I thought, back then it would be a cool name for a business, so 18 years later, that's what I picked. Though, someone has already parked blackcanyonleather.com, so I guess someone else thought it was a good name too.

I don't have an actual stamp yet, but since others are sharing the story of the business names, here goes:

I grew up on a small horse farm in NJ. It was a very rural area, surrounded by old stone walls, wildlife and a variety of wildflowers and flowering trees (inc. our apple orchard). My favorite of all was the wild rose. I could smell them as they started blooming, while I took our dog on long walks down a nearby dirt road. In honor and memory of that special time in my life, I chose to name my business Wild Rose Creations.

So NO, it has nothing to do with being Irish (though I am)

King's X

Cuz, when I tool something and make a mistake, I can invoke King's X and do it over with no penalty or ridicule from the spousal unit and/or children.

Nice thread.....
