I haven’t been able to work in the shop or post many pictures recently; my dad has been very sick and I’ve been spending a lot of time in Missouri with my family. He’s the one who taught me to be fearless of snakes, lizards, running barefoot, and climbing trees. I like to think that it’s because of him I had the daring to try cowboy boot making. Here’s a little glimpse into the man he was.

So sorry for your loss. Praying for you and your family.
Thank you!
Dear Lisa, I’m very sorry for the loss of your father. It’s painful but, as time goes by, the memories of your times together will reassure you. Have faith.
Thank you!
