THE LEGENDARY LEATHER CLAN . . .

Taking a brief pause from Lefty Dave's holster project, Mr. Legendary Leather would like to share some photos from last month's SASS event at 'The Gunfight Behind the Jersey Lilly' in Corona.

We all know how Mr. Legendary Leather likes to sell his 'wares' at these Cowboy events (I honestly think the man believes he is a cowboy) and this was his first time showing off his new sign . . . and tent to boot.

Enter 'Little Miss Do-Gooder Amy' who was right down kindly enough to take these mighty fine photos of the Legendary Leather Clan.

Thanks to Mr. Jed Irons for lending the Little Miss Amy and her great photo abilities. The rest of her kindly photos have been passed on to family and friends near and far and are much appreciated!

Thanks to all you varmints who so generously supported Mr. Legendary Leather with your purchases of the finely crafted LL bovine hide!

PROFILE

A Graphic Designer by trade . . . a cowboy artisan at heart, Mr. Legenday Leather developed an interest in leather-crafting back in his Boy Scout days. Around the same time, he also acquired what would eventually develop into an overwhelming interest in knives. As he grew older, he unknowingly "married" his two interests together and would occassionally craft a knife sheath to satisfy the "leather craving" within, sometimes with years in between crafted projects.

In his 40's, Mr. Legendary Leather added rifle and pistol shooting to his hobbies, while his curiosities about the old west developed into a passion for more knowledge about the "cowboy". Once again, "marrying" his interests, he discovered the "Single Action Shooting Society" (SASS) which is an international organization that was created to preserve and promote the sport of cowboy action shooting. SASS members share a common interest in preserving the history of the Old West and competitive shooting; "Each participant is required to adopt a shooting alias appropriate to a character or profession of the late 19th century, a Hollywood western star, or an appropriate character from fiction. Their costume is then developed accordingly. Many event participants gain more enjoyment from the costuming aspect of the sport than from the shooting competition, itself." . . . the key word in this quote being "costuming" . . .

In his enthusiasm to develop the ultimate cowboy costume, Mr. Legendary Leather called upon all of his resources and interests, which encompassed everything that would be needed to satisfy yet another "calling". The variety in his leather-crafted projects is a testament to his growth in crafting the bovine hide. With each new creation, he carefully refines and hones his skills.

The imagination holds endless possibilities . . . and Mr. Legendary Leather eagerly seeks the "dusty old trail" he will travel to create every one of them!
