Thanks Dave. I thought the butter was smaller.

I make cowboy knives, its what I do. Around Christmas time I'd received several requests to build an old style knife pattern known as a blunt nose castrator, or in the vernacular a "nutter". Honestly, I didn't really want too. They were kind of foreign to the traditions I know growing up in the cattle country around here. Around here we rope calves to be processed and will usually have a horse holding the back legs and another the front. Having the front legs and the back legs roped and held off the ground prevents the calf from struggling too much. This pic kind of shows what I'm talking...

Yep that's me.....kicking back and shooting the breeze. Here's some of my current retirement hobbies:

Two Elk Guides one in Ironwood and the other in Bocote.

A set of four steak knives., Ironwood spacers and Buckeye Burl handles:

Ya bet! Didn't have time this morning to find some pics but here is Ben with a Horsewright Paisano at a duck hunt. He's also wearing a Horsewright wildrag.

Here's the pommel bags I made him. Basically saddle bags for the front of the saddle. These fit over the saddle horn. These were very popular in early California for carrying cap and ball revolvers:

Ben in the woolies I made him again with a Horsewright wildrag:

Some close ups of the woolies before I shipped to them to him:

Dave, which of your machines do you like to use for woolies? What aspects of working with hair-on leather are different from the other types you use? Those look warm!
