Finished the sheath off for this Sonoran Belt Knife yesterday. 26C3 high carbon steel (RC 63-64), sheep horn handle and bocote spacer with a flower carved Pancake Sheath:

I don't even ride horses and I want them fuzzys

Couple years back had a guy approach me about making him a pair of woolies. He'd come up from LA county and he didn't look like he rode horses either. Fact he looked like he very much didn't cowboy. I asked him why he wanted a pair of woolies as they were gonna be very spendy with us having to buy a buffalo hide to get er done. He said he'd grown up watching all the old westerns and he just wanted a pair to hang on the wall. He brought me his entire covid stimulus check to build em. Here modeled by my daughter:

He drove up to pick em up and said what else can we make with the left overs. Can ya do woolly wrist cuffs? Yep I says. He drops off more money and I build him a set of wooly wrist cuffs:

He picks em up and says what else can we do and I say saddlebags and he drops off more money:

Then he says, a purse for the wife and drops off more money. Now my wife usually makes all the purses and bags on this outfit but she didn't want anything to do with all the fuzzies so I'm thinking half a saddlebag with a strap and thats what I did:

He says how bout a Top Hat and I says above my pay grade and pointed him to a guy I know of that makes leather top hats. Lots of projects out of one $1,000 buffalo hide:

Not from buffalo hide a Mestano:

Chad Pirtle, sharkskin.

Hadn't hear of Chad. He does nice work. Sharkskin is tough stuff!

Chad is really talented and does sheaths for a lot of Hossoms. Kind of their unofficial sheath maker.

Good deal
