Texas & Trades
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs;
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.

There comes a time in a persons life when he or she must learn to keep the mind body and soul in perfect balance. This nation has lost that. No longer are the days of helping dad in the garage fixing the lawn mower or snaking a toilet. In present day America we call the roto rooter guy for issues having to do with plumbing , and lawnmower issues? Shit!! my dad would have kicked my ass from here to San Francisco if i was to even mention "hey pop, lets buy a new one."
The time I spent gettin' ass whoopin's and learnin' to paint and cut lumber taught me to shut the fuck up and listen to my elders. For which I am thankful to this day. My elders taught me to look at life with possibilities. Not only did they teach me to make lemonade out of lemons, but "God Dammit! make a stand out of the scrap lumber and sell the shit out of that there lemonade. " From then on metal, lumber, objects of any kind always had possibilities. Creativity has been a huge part of my life, from photography to metal work from carpentry to painting. My creative endeavor never subsides.
This blog is to show what I have under my belt. I have been making leather products for a few years now. All the leather Is hand tooled, stained, painted and hand sewn. For those lucky enough to have some of my products, they are for day to day wear and abuse. I personally have a wallet I made five years ago. And it is still in my back pocket. Not hanging by a thread as most store wallets do, but rather alive and well worn. I take pride in what I do and what I sell. If you would like a custom piece of leather that will satisfy you and be around for years to come, give me a holar , and mabe, just mabe this here Texan will make one hell of leather piece for you.
