Coyote Necker - CactusRose 26

[Wild Rose]

The 4 1/2" blade was handforged by my the late compadre Gib Guignard. The handle is a pair of coyote jawbones with buffalo rawhide wrap.
The neck sheath is braintan over a bark tan liner and the neck piece is braintan with red trade wool liner. The sheath is decorated with denatalium shells, glass, copper, and brass beads, fringe, tin cone and buffalo hair dangles.

Chuck, I wish Gib was still around to see what you've been doing! Beautiful package as usual!

Ray - Every time I finish up a CactusRose piece I get this "picture" of Gib sitting there tippling on a bottle of JD Black Label (no need to worry about gout ) with that big ole grin of his lighting up his face.......

I am always amazed seeing work by true artists!!! Taking an old coyote jaw and making it look like a work of art just never ceases to give me that feeling of awe. And then your ability to match up the perfect sheath...well, that's just incredible!
