From a leather guy myself, Art is "slightly" talented! Glad you are here, great website.

I know he would never ask me, so I decided to show a few examples of Art's skill with leather and stitch:

Anyone else have some to show?

I have one of Art's side cruisers for 3-D shooting and I love it.  Very nicely done.

Thanks again guys...kevin,,,that deer was to pretty for you...lol. Seriously to find a rack like that on a deer was a once in a lifetime event for sure...I do love doing portraits of harvested critters..yours and Bryon were two exceptional ones I've had the chance to work on.  I appreciated the opportunity.  Thanks for posting the pictures.

I've done several "can" holders, all with your name or initials on them, but they keep getting filled with a can, a can filled with cold frothy refreshment...Now you know I can't ship a can holder filled with a can of cold refreshment..one of these days I'll get to the Post Office with one, if I ever find it empty.    

It is great that Art has become a sponsor. His work is outstanding.

Welcome Art        
Beautiful work!

welcome aboard art!!!
thanks for caring enough  

Welcome Art,  Great looking work!

Art is a top notch fella for sure, AWESOME work. look forward to shooting the "bull" with you soon.

welcome to the best site ever!!!

Art's one heck of a stand up guy and top-notch leathersmith. I plan on posting some photos of his fine work on this thread as soon as I get a chance.

Ken, sorry we couldn't connect on my last trip up there...the Moma's boy list was to darn long..lol.      

Thanks for posting.

By the way I have some new rawhide coming in that will be perfect for that bear killer knife of yours.

I've got two custom armguards Art did for me about 4 or five years ago- they perform flawlessly- hold up to some nasty cover that has lots of thorns and brambles and still look great..

Worth every penny.

Welcome

Welcome Art. Beautiful leather work

I also have one of Art's side cuisers for 3-D, I got the belt and quiver. Hard to beat the workmanship and service. Thanks Art  

Welcome Art

Ordered a hip quiver, and matching belt. Can't wait for it to arrive !

Love the hip quiver and belt.  You will not find me at many shoots without it.  Here's one from the Reinhart 100:



Sorry for the blurry pic.... Two Hats gets excited when I shoot...  You never know where the arrow might end up...  

I "discovered" Arts leather art some years ago, the man has real talent.

Then there was the year at Comptons when I ask him to stay for lunch at my camp. It was just like feeding a stray dog...couldn't get rid of him after that..  

We've become good friends since then and now he trades leather goods for food..............

just kidding...  

welcome to Tradgang.Your work is awesome.
