Welcome to our blog on leather working and cowboy gear.

Hello, my husband and I are fairly new in leather working so I thought I would write about our experiences as we learn along the way.  So far we have made Saddles, bosals, chaps/chinks, guitar straps, photo albums, and some other various items made out of leather and rawhide. We have had very good help from friends and have also of course been learning from our mistakes.  So if you read and have suggestions we would love to hear them.
At the moment I am working on two different chap projects.  A pair to hopefully put in the fair this summer and one for a friend.  If you ever see something you like please ask and we may be able to make it for you.

Blue double fringe will be on the inside of these chaps, these may be to enter in the fair.
Dark brown double fringe chinks in process




I also just last week made this pair of armitas for my son.  Of course they are just for fun but aren't they cute!

  1. I love your blog already!!! I've always loved leatherwork myself, although I haven't done that many big projects, but I sure appreciate what you have done! I love those armitas on Levi. What a cowboy. I have thought about purchasing a pair of chinks and maybe I'll just have you make me a pair. It is great to keep the vaquero and cowboy traditions alive.
    Love, Kristi Johnson
