Moderator bruce johnson Posted February 4, 2010 Moderator Report Posted February 4, 2010 I just finished this rope can and strap up for a nice young breakaway roper from NV. She came up with the design, and I am really liking her idea of the star overlaying the border partially. I haven't done much barbwire for a while, and that was kind of fun. I did some others too, but they are gifts for birthdays that haven't happened yet.

Members Butch Posted February 5, 2010 Members Report Posted February 5, 2010 Very nice Bruce. I have a question for you though that you may have previously answered. When you do your rope cans do you work on the front and back only, or is there something that you do around the middle as well? Thanks, Butch Quote Never approach a bull from the front, a horse from the rear, or a fool from any direction. Facebook

Thanks, Butch Butch, I just do leather on the tops. Several years ago I had a wholesale order for one that had some tooled patches on the sides, kind of like leg shields on chaps. They went between the latches and sort of looked cool.
