"That's quite a coincidence. There's another leather artist who lives in Pennsylvania, also named James Ammon. He specializes in game boards."

That is kooky...anyone else hear the twilight zone music playing? : )

Well as you have most all seen, I am Ken, as I sign each post since the beginning. Main reason I did that was I had also always wondered who everyone was, and thought maybe a subtle hint would encourage a few more to sign their real names. Just like not knowing if it's male or female, and also where you are from in this great leatherworld.

Anyways, Beaverslayer is the name of my company. As some of you know, I learned leatherwork while incarcerated in a federal penitenciary here in Canada. It was my job there for over 3 years to run the hobby shop. One day while a few of us were out having a smoke, and talking about Beavers, we were being eavesdropped on by 3 of the guards. At the time, the guards didn't wear uniforms, so sometimes you never noticed them standing nearby.

Well from what we were discussing about Beavers, one of the guards made a comment about them, I retorted, and the guard said to me something like "yeah, you're a real Beaverslayer aren't you?" and from there on in, EVERYONE would call me Beaverslayer. Even when my name was called over the PA system to report somewhere, they used the name.

jbird...GREAT topic.
