Picture Frame

Here is a carved picture mat that I made for my brother and sister in law. It holds a 8x10 picture. Sorry for the glare at the top. In the hearts at the top it has their initals C K.

Red Rose Bridle

Here is the headstall that I built for my brother James. It is a brow-band, throte-latch style that has double adjustment on both sides. It has beautiful red rose marble-like keepers at the top. The brow-band has small nickle spots and large ruby gems. Along is a matching ruby/nickle flower design on the sides. (That is the design that both James and his wife Larissa have on their belts,*See Larissas Belt Post)

Notes: I did not build the tie down that is underneith the headstall.

James built the custom heart bit. *See the Reeds Blacksmith Shop side link for more infomation.

Buck-Stitched Chinks

Here are my chinks that I built for myself. I wanted something different so I put buckstitching on these.

They have basic nickle buckles and conchos, and extra-long fringe.

Saddle Bag

Here is a single saddle bag that Sam made for his saddle.

Pricing for one like this would be $45.

Spur Straps

Here are a pair a spur straps that I made for my nephew. Theres a simple border tooling around them with his initals DWM.

Heres the buckle. It is a miniture horseshoe that my brother James made.

Larissa's Chinks

Here is a custom pair of chinks I made for my sister-in-law, Larissa. They don't have any buckles or conchos on them yet cause my brother James, is going to make custom ones for them.

These pictures are slightly fuzzy, so I hope you can see the detail alright. On the right side yoke (the top peice), I carved 2 different flowers. In the center of each flower there are jewels.
On the left yoke is a matching red flower and the initals L R.

Cell Phone Holder

Here is the cell phone holder that I made for myself. I put a daisy on the front and my initals, B M, on the back. The miniture horseshoe is the clip that can clip to my pants pocket or what ever I can find to clip it to.

I also clip it to my purse. Now I don't have to search for my cell phone at the bottom of my purse anymore! I love it.

I can custom make a cell phone holder like this one for you. I can tool large initals on the front, tool a basket weave or a plain border, or brand it, or just "Bling" it out with diamond, studs or conchos. You come up with an idea, and I'll try to put it to leather, all for $30.

Here is a picture of a horseshoe key ring that I have. Works really well and has a nice western look to it. They are available through James or my dad, who both are blacksmiths. They are $8.00 . You can call James at 928-651-4524 or Brian at 480-987-9592.
