Let’s take a look at my oldest son’s work first.  He was dying to make his own pair of spurs, and I mean dying..he was begging like a little boy…hee hee.  Here are his first pair of spurs!

And now let’s take a look at my middle son’s work.  He decided that he’s not into spurs or buckles, or bits, so since he loves me so much, he made me a kitchen knife!  Isn’t he sweet.  There is no silver on this…it’s all metal.

And finally one of my man‘s latest pieces made for one of our family members who works on the King Ranch.  He’s also an avid coon hunter!

Before you know it, we’ll have to get a truck rental to haul them and their stuff to trade shows!  HA!!

I’ve got a new store coming soon and one section will be devoted to my husband’s trade of bit and spur making.  It won’t be nothin’ fancy but it will be a page people can go to if they want to order something.  I’m trying to talk him into expanding and making some jewelry but it’s not flying too well.  He could put everything from turquoise to freshwater pearls on bracelets, earrings, and necklaces but I think it’s a no go.  Oh well, I tried.

Anyways, I thought I’d share some of the recent stuff my man has whipped out just in case you wanna place an order in the future;)

First up are 2 sets of spurs.  Both have hearts on them which is always popular.

2 bits made for a couple of different fellers.
