Here's my latest Miniature Bohlin Saddle. There's only 562 pieces of hand engraved solid Sterling Silver by Silver King.  There are a lot of other pictures on the miniature saddles page.

Thank you for visiting my new website. I will try to keep updating this site with pictures. Most of the pictures are of item that have already been sold, but it will give you an idea of what I can do. I make full size saddles and miniature or "Salesman Sample" size saddles, chaps, gunrigs, spurstraps and other leatherwork.                                          I also attended the GRS silver engraving  school in July 2007. So I will be adding picture of my silverwork as I get more experiance.

This June was the 3rd annual "Art of the Cowboy Makers" contest in Loveland, Colorado. This contest is judged by all the contestants entered. The peoples choice is voted on by the dealers and everyone who attends the show.                                   This contest was a huge sucess and we will be having it again next year in conjunction with the Loveland Old West Round-Up.  Categories include Boots, Braiding, Engraving, Hats, Leather Carving, Saddles, Spurs & Youth. We will be adding a Chap category for 2012.
