Elk Horn Bolo with Silver Zia and Deer Braid

[leatherman1457]

Here in New Mexico the Bolo Is part of our heritage. you see all types of them. made of silver and turquoise or any type of object that people like .

This Bolo was made for a customer and he provided the silver Zia .

the Horn is the base of the horn. I made a clip that i screwed on the back of the bolo to hold it on the leather bolo and made it so it could slide and be adjustable. The tips of the bolo was made from the tips of the Elk horn and I put a silver cap on them and soldered a loop on the end. on the leather side I soldered a piece of silver on top of a small silver pipe and souldered a loop on it and used E6000 to glue the leather to the silver pipe and used a jump ring to connect them together. The bolo leather cord is made of deer skin and is hand cut and done in a four round braid style. It makes for a soft pliable cord that is perfect for bolo.

Nice looking Bolo.

If I remember right the Bolo is our official state necktie here in Arizona.

It's only fair because you got the roadrunner as your state bird and we got stuck with the Cactus Wren.

leatherman,

Great job on the bolo. What impressed me most was the silver work that you did. Very clean. Very nice!
