Rolandranch Report post Posted March 8, 2019 Here are some chink chaps I made for two of my sisters. I think they turned out pretty well and they are getting a lot of use. Let me know what you think. Critique is always welcome. Thanks for viewing! Ryan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alpha2 Report post Posted March 10, 2019 Wait! "Two of your sisters"??? How many siblings do you HAVE? What exactly is a-goin on at Roland Ranch? Y'all got some kinda compound there??? Slightly off topic, Jenny and I watched a video on YouTube today, of someone turning a pen from burl, she has a new appreciation of her pen now!

Rolandranch Report post Posted March 10, 2019 Thank you all! @plinkercases Thanks! I'll let my parents know! Those boots are Ariats. Not sure on the style though (except they're square-toe) @JLSleather I made sure I got some decent pics before I let them go beat 'em up. @Rockoboy SHHHHHH!!!! Don't tell them they need belts. They'll take advantage of me more than they already do! Actually, I have nice buckles for both. Just waiting for the leather to come in. Tooled belts coming soon! @alpha2 haha! I have three sisters and 7 brothers. I'm the third. My two older brothers are in college right now and they are going debt-free because of the pens they've made. I plan to do the same with my leather. Yes, my family is musical. We need to update our family pic because #11 is here! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

garypl Report post Posted March 10, 2019 Nice looking family Ryan! I have 3 brothers and 4 sisters and there is nothing like growing up in a large family, especially during the holidays, birthdays, etc. Now that we are all grown with our own children and grandchildren it is difficult to get everyone into one picture! We need more family values in this world of ours. Gary Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With the leather work you do I am sure your will be well funded for college. Keep an eye on the littlest one with the baton... he looks like a man with a plan and attitude to make it happen. You guys remind me of the Von Trapps from Sound Of Music!!.. but with more guys and gals. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JazzBass Report post Posted March 13, 2019 (edited) Gorgeous work again, Ryan! Hey...lots of 'Bone players in that family - I've had the honor and great pleasure to work with both Bill Watrous, and (the great) Carl Fontana on many occasions. Don't worry...I'll hold off on the jokes about the "Pneumatic Pitch Approximator"...oops...did I say that out loud? ROFL! Beautiful family, beautiful work. You are indeed blessed, my friend! ...you just need to grow a bass player! Hahaha. Edited March 13, 2019 by JazzBass Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We're actually considering starting the little guy on bass... he needs to grow a bit more though.

I even wear a shirt that has "Ariat" embroidered all over it. I ALMOST named my new puppy "Ariat" but then I went with "Stetson." Here's my sister's boot style. This my favorite style (mostly because they're rider friendly). I'm on my second pair of these. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
