I'll have a booth at Valley View Rodeo every Thursday, stop by and say hi!

Rodeo night just got a little bigger 🤠

Starting June 11, the Cowboy Market will be open before every Valley View Rodeo.

Featuring western makers, local businesses, artisans, food vendors, and more, it’s the perfect way to kick off your evening before the first event begins.

The Cowboy Market opens at 3:00 PM in Denecke Park.

Come early, explore the Cowboy Market, grab a bite to eat, watch slack, and make a night of it!

Getting some rifle slings added to the inventory. These are made from 8/9 oz. Hermann Oak Leather and can adjust to fit. Just like my belts, I like to keep things simple, so these are also single layer leather. I truly believe that the less components there are, the less chance there is that something can go wrong.

I have to admit, good leather pairs very well with a beautiful wooden gun stock.

Quality, simplicity, and heritage.

Proudly made in Montana, USA.

Here's the podcast I did with Joe Meling from 23+ Leather. It's also on the other podcast platforms.

Finally back in the shop today after spending the last few days at the Rocky Mountain Leather Trade Show down in Sheridan WY. Met some truly great folks and learned a bunch about the leather crafting trade. Even got to stop by the Barry King Tool shop and pick out some new stamping tools.

I would like to give a special thanks to Joe Meling with 23+ Leather. I met Joe last year while attending some of his workshops, and couldn't pass up another chance to learn more from him. Joe is without a doubt an expert in the world of leather carving and crafting, and one of the most genuine guys you could ever meet. He has a natural ability as an instructor to explain things in a clear and uncomplicated manner.
Joe even invited me on his podcast, "Pivot, Prosper, and Persevere." When that drops next week I will be sure to share it so anyone who wants can listen to our conversation.

Now, back to working on custom orders. Hope everyone is enjoying their spring!

Down here at the Rocky Mountain Leather Trade Show here in Sheridan, WY to spend the day with one of the greats in the business, and learn some new product builds.
These workshops are the type of activity I love to participate in, and will continue to do so for as long as I can. There's always someone with a little more knowledge, and thankfully they are sometimes willing and eager to pass it on.
