Here's something fresh off the bench.

These are bison leather shotgun chaps for a cowboy friend of mine. We were rounding up cattle in heavy thickets and he needed chaps badly. Our shirts keep getting torn but I don't think I can fix that. 

This leather is great working chap leather because it is very tough but supple enough to be comfortable but it is a little scarred.

He was very pleased with them.

Let me know what you think. Comments/critique welcome.

Ryan - those look great!  I like the carving you did - must have taken a long time to complete.

Only critique is the belt on the back side - the light color doesn’t match the nice tan of the rest of the leather.  Why did you leave it lighter?

You are a busy guy - keep up the good work!

Quality looking work...as usual from you. The initials subtly placed into the serpentine border are a nice touch. Being from the NE GA mountains, I have almost no need or experience with this type of gear...no critiques from me on that front...but like garypl, I like the stamping work.

Have a great day!

Beautiful work as always.  You are certainly very talented.  Where do you find the time for everything you make?

Excellent work and you left your friend a few holes to grow into !

I would agree the back belt could be tanned so to speak but it will weather and blend in in no time.

Outstanding as always! I had to go back and find those initials that Double Daddy mentioned. Nice job.

So much leather...so little time.

Beautiful work as always. I love working with bison. I do have a question. 

Never having seen a set of chaps on a person except the farrier who used to shoe my brother in laws horses.  What are the rings on the backside for?

Thank you for sharing.
