Gotta love curly Cherry, first of two end tables for the Mrs.

Wow! That's beautiful! I envy you all that can finish tabletops like that. I have a hard enough time with 3" scales!

Lol. The other day my wife asked how the day was going when I came out of the shop...I said "it was an 11"...she said "wow that's good right?" I answered..."No, that's how many times I had to stop and apologize to the Lord for losing my temper"

Companion to the other end table. This piece of cherry is pretty plain

Did a couple of scabbards recently:

Made a couple of Sonoran Skinners too. This is a pattern I don't do too often but heck elk season is coming:

My wife has probably out done herself with this set of travel bags. She's made many sets of these but there was just something about mixing the black water buffalo with the brown water buffalo. It's just stunning. She was making these for stock to put on our website, but they sold before they got off the workbench:

Dave, your work absolutely amazes me. I forgot to include your wife's as well. In a word Excellent!

Leftover scraps always come in handy.

Helped a local gal with some leatherwork. She did all the tooling on this guitar strap that a friend of hers had ordered. I stitched it up in red for her. While not my deal style wise there is some fantastic carving here:

She told me she's been tooling for about a year and a half now. I'm impressed.

She's got some serious potential, that looks great!

No doubt there!

I don’t think she’ll mind me sharing this as she shared on her IG. She’d sent me a couple of pics of the strap to show me what she was asking me to sew. Lil while later I get another message. “Did I tool this upside down?” Looking close at it, “Oh heck I think you might have.” Her customer got a wall hanging and a week later a guitar strap!

Always nice to be able to use scraps laying around, a few gifts for the family.

Hadn't made a pair of these in some years. Double fringed Charmitas, a type of chap:

Some pics along the way:

Thank you sir. The wife took those Christmas card ones on the front porch with her phone. We use to make a lot of those charmitas type leggings. Hadn't made a pair for some time. Had to sit and think for a bit on some of the processes and what order they came in. Got er done though. A blast from the past on some of those:

While they aren't charmitas made both of these pair of leggings too:
