COWBOYS, COWBOYS, AND MORE COWBOYS!

There he is folks . . . Mr. Legendary Leather . . . in the flesh (or would that be "rawhide"). What a weekend he has had! Mr. Legendary Leather spent some time with the Cowboy crowd out in Norco this weekend. Mr. Legendary Leather was invited to join the "mercantile" posse and sell his wares. What a great group of people! One would have thought that this was still the wild west! There were cowboys everywhere you turned! Yup, the code of the west is still alive and well. With the Ambush at Mill Creek, this weekend's SASS match was dedicated to the "bandidos" of the west . . . I think Mr. Legendary Leather themed in pretty well, don't you? I'd have to say his leather goods were a hit! He's going to have to work hard to make up his inventory. I couldn't tell you which was moving faster . . . the compliments, the money, or the wind! Mighty breezy out there considerin' we're city folks! We were whipped around like a tumbleweed on the tail of a bobcat! That didn't stop them thar cowboys . . . thems are sum serious shooters! And Mr. Legendary Leather thanks them all for the opportunity to participate in their little part of the old west and for 'giving him occassion' to rub elbows with 'sum mighty fine varmints'!

WesternSpice took the opportunity to partake in the western atmosphere, also.

A PAUSE FOR THE CAUSE . . .

Well, Mr. Legendary Leather has taken a quick break from his "special request" project for Mr. Top Brass in Arizona. Mr. Legendary Leather couldn't supress his latest creative vision any longer and decided to craft it for sale in his Etsy shop. Take a look at this pair of "Hair on Hide" Spur Straps, complete with spurs!

Yup, this is another "first" for Mr. Legendary Leather. He knew he could work the raw bovine hide, but was curious what it would be like to craft the "hairy hide" of that good ol' bovine. I think Mr. LL has been readin' too many of them thar cowboy books, cuz his vision was rough-crafted style spur straps, as though they had been crafted all those years ago . . . maybe along the trail at the campfire, or perhaps in the bunkhouse after a long day's work out on the range. Not only did he craft the spur straps, but he also stripped the paint off the spurs, embellished them with pounded copper pennies, and then finished those spurs off with a touch of gun blueing giving them that old antiqued look . . . straps complimenting spurs, spurs complimenting straps.

FABRIC IS SELECTED . . .

Well, I know it's a little hard to tell from the photo, but fabric has been selected for the "Top Brass" project. Up until this point, Mr. Legendary Leather has yet to reveal the specified project. However, I can assure you that it is not in the realm of Mr. Legendary Leather's typical leather crafting. No sheaths, spurs, holsters, hatbands, or chaps. It has already been revealed that an old deer buckskin (minus the bullet hole) is involved and fabric is also needed. In this case, Mr. Top Brass (from Arizona) has requested a coordinating color similar to the buckskin as opposed to a darker contrasting color. Mr. Legendary Leather found a shimmering mustardy gold color to compliment the deer hide. It has a satin/silky feel to it but is actually a polyester. Mr. Legendary Leather was given some advice as to what type of material would be best being that this project eventually will have to endure 'sweat' . . . got any clues yet?
