mulefool Report post Posted January 23, 2008 Who do you guys use for silver work? Do any of you do your own? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg gomersall Report post Posted January 23, 2008 Dave Alderson, Ernie Marsh, Richard Brooks Rob Schaezlein, Mark Dahl are the usual for me. If the customer wants some specific we will go that way as well. greg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bruce johnson Report post Posted January 23, 2008 I get a lot of the regular stuff from Hansen's Silver. They are local and I don't have to inventory much. My wife picks it up on her way home from work. They are at most of the trade shows. In 2006 at the NFR, I bought some stuff from Dale Bass. He is from Amarillo or some place close by in the panhandle of TX. He does nice work kind of close to the par of Greg's list. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mulefool Report post Posted January 24, 2008 Thanks guys. Of course all those mentioned would be a great choice. Some of my customers can afford that. Most can't. I guess what I usually need the most is something along the lines of Hansens. I'd love to learn how to do some stuff myself. Between hitching horsehair and making saddles I guess I need one more thing that takes up alot of time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
