Contributing Member BillB Posted March 21, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted March 21, 2008 Here is some work that my Grandfather did. The leather purse and western holster were done in the 1950's The other purses are handmade from wild sea oats (legally harvested in the 60's but illegal now) when he lived in LeHigh Acres Florida. I have no idea when he made the trays. Quote
Ambassador leatheroo Posted March 21, 2008 Ambassador Report Posted March 21, 2008 beautiful work, i really love the baskets with the sea oats Quote
Contributing Member BillB Posted March 21, 2008 Author Contributing Member Report Posted March 21, 2008 roo, Unfortunately, it is now illegal to harvest them. When I retire in 2 years, I plan to look around and see if I can find a replacement grass to grow in minnesota so that I can trying making them. Quote

I have no idea when he made the trays. Nice work. I like all of it. That gun belt looks like it has seen a battle or two. I should have mine done in a few days. Been taking my time and enjoying the process. I didn't make mine with the cut out for the holster to hang from. I used the style John Wayne wore in all his movies. Tom Quote
