NO HIDE IS SAFE!

I have to be admittin' that Mr. Legendary Leather
has been burning the midnight oil out in his workshop.
Do you remember 'Slim Pickins' a few posts back . . .
filet knife with custom sheath sportin' a fish skeleton?
Well, Mr. Slim Pickins was so impressed with Mr. Legendary
Leather's craftin' that he ordered a few more creations.
 
 
Yeeehaaaw! That boy was so darned excited, he involved
himself in the creatin' process. Knowing that he wanted
a few custom gifts for loved ones, he picked out the bones
for the handles, the blades for the knives, and told Mr.
Legendary Leather how he wanted the leather designed.
 
 
The holster will be for Slim's pa who owns a Colt 1911 that
used to belong to his pa (Slim's grandpa).
 
 
 
Wantin' to impress his girlfriend's kin, Slim wanted to
give them custom knives/sheaths that they could use on
their monthly camping trips. Chosing zebra and impala
bones for the handles, Slim also requested initials be
carved into the plain and simple sheaths.
 
 
A mighty fine "thanks" to Mr. Slim Pickins for his enthusiasm,
generosity, and faith in Mr. Legendary Leather's creatin' abilities.
I have a feelin' that we haven't seen the last of ol' Slim!

SOCIAL NETWORKING . . .

I'll be takin' a little detour off the dusty trail today
to gab a bit about 'social networking'.
 A mighty difficult subject to talk about for a cowboy
in this age of technology, but I feel it's time to
air my updated opinion with all you varmints.
 
 
Enter the 'Captain' from 'The Craftsman's Bench(link)
What do the Captain and Mr. Legendary Leather
have in common . . . leather, good taste in vintage
advertising, leather, a love for crafting, social networking,
 and (you guessed it) leather! The Captain is stationed in
South Korea. With a passion for craftsmanship in both
 wood and leather, the Captain has created The
Craftsman's Bench out of his need to share his
love of crafting with those overseas who may
not have easy access to such creations.
 
 
Now, I have to be admittin' that it's taken me awhile
to adjust to the social networkin' scene. An old fuddy
duddy cowboy like myself ain't used to airin' his whiles
to the world. However, I have to be admittin' that if it
weren't fer this social networkin' business, the
Captain and I would never have met. Filled with some
mighty fine comments, the Captain came across this
here blog and asked fer some advice. A might proper
fellow who has a heart for creatin' and helping others,
I'll be admittin' that this here cowboy is very much
appreciative of the Captain's kind words and discussions!
 
As fer the young lady pictured above, the Captain informs
us that her name is Adelita, the archetype heroine of the Mexican
Revolution. He notes that she is smiling and that she is armed!
 
 
This was quite appealin' to myself since I
boast of my colorful Mexican heritage.
