Cowboy Cuffs

[Josh Ashman]

Here's a pair of cuffs I built a while back that were just sitting around when a kid asked me to make him a pair. I knocked the dust off of these and we were both happy that they were just what he was after. Since I had them cleaned up I figured I'd take a picture, along the same line of thinking I figured I'd share the picture here.

Thanks for looking, Josh

Looks great Josh! I really love your work! Now for a stupid questions: What the hell are cowboy cuffs, what are they used for, who would use them, and how do you use them???? But again, great job!

Thanks Keplerts! Asking what Cowboy cuffs are is a perfectly reasonable question . They are worn on your wrists above your gloves and are typically somewhere between 6 and 8 inches long. Depending on what you believe they are worn to add protection to your lower arms while riding through brush and working cattle or they're worn because lots of old time cowboys wore them and they look cool. In my mind both reasons for wearing them are equally valid.

Thanks again, Josh

Beautiful! I'm making some right now. What was the upper diameter and the average lower (wrist end) diameter? I have a template I bought but the cuffs are huge. I suspect this template size was meant to be worn over a jacket or heavy shirt.
