Ed's Spur Straps

These are a pair of floral carved spur straps I made for my father-in-law for Christmas. A custom pair like these run for $50.

These are the spurs that my brother, James, custom made for my father-in-law, out of a pair of horseshoeing rasps. Very nice job! You can call James for custom iron work at 928-651-4524.

Rick Hayward's Belt

This is a belt that was special ordered Amanda Tilley for her dad Rick Hayward for Christmas. Hope he likes it.

Sams Belt

Here is Sam's belt that I made for him.

The buckle is made by my brother James, who is a talented blacksmith. Sam wanted a buckle that was extreamly basic with his brand in brass on it...Thats what he got. : )

This is the matching knife sheath that he wears on his belt.

Heres a closer look, sorry about the unclear picture. The tooling is the tri-basket. It also has "amber canyon" conchos on it.

Nich's Chaps

The pocket has his initals N P K on the top.

I built this pair as slip-ons for him.

This is the tooling that he choose. The medium diamond basket #2.

Brookes Pillows

Thanks for the Pictures Brooke. They look good on your chair!

Looks like Weston likes playing with the conchos.

Kid Chaps

These are a pair I made for my son Tillison. In this picture he is 5 years old. So a pair with tooling and conchos just like this pair would run about $60, for this size.

Leather Pillows

Theses are some pillows I made for my sister Brooke. They have an extra large Montana Berry Star concho on them. They are stitched together with leather. I made the top side smooth and the back side rough-out because it was so soft and loved the color of the rough-out.

This is a bench that my dad made for us for Christmas. He is a very skilled and talented Blacksmith. Everthing on this bench has equiptment that came off a wagon and horses, such as old wood, horseshoes, hames and a double-tree. Beautiful work, dad!! You can get a hold of him for your custom iron work ideas at 480-987-9592.

Larissa's Belt

This is a belt I made for Larissa (my sister-in-law). I actually made a wider belt for James (her husband) with the same ruby flower design on it that he specially requested. He has the same design on a headstall that I made for him earlier and wanted a belt like that. So then I decided that Larissa needed to match James and the horse as well. :) (This belt is 1 1/4" wide. Perfect for her small physique.)

Holsters

These are 2 different but matching holsters that I made for my brother James (even though I think his wife Larissa wears them the most). This one is a right-handed belly hoslter and the other one is a regular right handed holster.

James has a blacksmith display trailer he takes all over the state and demonstrates his blacksmithing at fairs and festivals. Connecting to the booth is an area where they let customers shoot wax bullets out of their Colt-45 pistols. These are the guns they use.

You will have to call on the pricing of adult holsters. But we also make kid holsters, that they sell in their display so keep an eye out for them as well. They sell fast! Prices range from $15-$30, they also come with a childs pistol. They can be personalized in many ways with tooling, names stamped on it, or even "bling".

Cache's Chinks

Cache's chinks were tooled on the yoke with our tri-basket. They had our front and back buckle adjustment, great for growing boys! His name was also tooled on his back belt. All the hardware on these pair were brass buckles and conchos. (brass looks great with the dark chap leather!) A full custom pair like these, at this size run at $75.

Texas-Style, Slip-on Chaps

I made these chaps in September so Sam could compete in the Taylor Ranch Rodeo. He already had a pair he uses when he rides that are longer and heavier, and didn't want to be running around the arena in his heavy clunckers. (I'll post some pictures of thoses later) His team members eventually dropped out on him so he only wore them for the wild-cow-riding event.

Now these pair are rough-out, if you can't tell. It makes it easier to slip on when the smooth is in the inside of the chaps against your pants...They also have a front and back buckle on them for better adjustment.

We put an external pocket on them. You can fit your whole fist in them or even a small pistol. Now the pocket is smooth out so it is double rough leather in the inside of the pocket, to make sure that nothing falls out too easy (plus I like the contrasting colors on the front).

The ring that we put on is to hold his piggin-strings on, cause you never know when you need to tie up something. The concho is an old coin. Theres one on both sides. It is the start of the leather strap. Now all of these extras are optional. Call for pricing on extras.

Heres the old-time tooling that I added. Tooling is also an extra add-on.

New Blog for my leather crafts

I'm gonna try to compile a blog so people can view some of the things I have made out of leather so here it goes...
