Photo album

This is a photo album that I made for my dad who is retiring after 34yrs with the Sheriff's Office. 

Chaps

Here are a couple pairs of chaps I recently completed for Christmas presents.

Here are the rest of the pics of the saddle build

Saddle progress

Ok, so I am a little behind schedule on this one but it's been a crazy July.  What you see here is the finished ground seat.  There are actually four layers of leather on top of a metal seat strainer that give the seat it's final shape.  I have also installed the gullet cover too.  Stay tuned for the horn.

Latest Holster

I built this holster for trail riding in case I have a run in with one of those big cats that the State of MN refuses to admit exist here.  It's for a Glock 27.

Purses

Every now and then I get talked into doing a purse or two.  Here's a few I just finished today.

Cowboy Bedroll

This is a bedroll tarp I recently completed. It is made from one piece of 7' x 17' 18oz Canvas Duck. Use this for throwing a foam mattress, sheets, and blankets in it for a really comfortable outdoor bed. However, one could simply throw their sleeping bag in it too. This bedroll comes complete with four snaps to keep it folded up and two snaps to keep the 4' flap folded over for those serious outdoor people who prefer to sleep outside without a tent!

Place your mattress, sheets, and blankets (or sleeping bag) like the photo to left being sure to leave at least 7' of material BELOW your bedding. 

Next, bring the bottom material up and over your bedding.

Now, fold in the sides so that they meet in the middle and snap it up.  Also, fold over the remaining four feet and snap.  Now you're ready to roll everything up.

There's the finished bedroll ready for camping. 

Daypack

Here's a daypack I built awhile back and never got around to posting.  It is made of 18oz canvas with a leather bottom and leather strap closures.  It has a drawsting closure with a hidden zipper compartment under the flap.

Sponsorship

Here's the sign we had made for a sponsorship we did for a local cattle sorting.  We would also like to thank the Northstar Riders for putting it on - it was a lot of fun!

My shop

I recently cleaned my shop.  It is rarely ever this clean and organized so I took some pictures!!

New Saddle

I am starting a new saddle and my goal is to stay on top of taking pictures of it's progress.  Check back often to see how it's shaping up. 

We are now full line distributors of Mayatex saddle blankets and pads!!

Contact us to get your saddle blankets and pads.  Be sure to go to their website at http://www.mayatex.com/ to see their cool custom show blanket feature.  They also can turn any blanket into a custom saddle pad.

Another heavy Canvas Dufffel

Here's another bag I recently completed.  This one is made with very heavy 24oz canvas, 20" long with twin 2" x7" pockets on both sides.

Logo gear

Now offering caps with a leather patch sewn on featuring my logo. Contact me if interested; I can use any style of hat you wish. These were done on a couple of Flexfits.

Latest Holster

Here another old west style holster for a .22 Ruger Single Action

Canvas Duffels

I often get asked if I work with canvas too. I made these large duffels out of heavy 15 oz canvas duck. They have heavy brass chap zippers with a pocket on each end and one on the front. I have more canvas on the way and look for more sizes, styles, and colors to come in the future. I also have plans for some bedrolls too.
