I have said since the beginning of my chosen career path that I am in the family business, whether by winter when I have the privilege to guide families and their friends into Yellowstone for a once in a life time memory that
part of the creation of an heirloom that will be passed along to family with its own folk-lore attached. Ann asked me to build this ring for her, using the ivory of her very first elk harvested when she was a young lady, and using a bear claw from a bear with a story of troublesome ways. I suggested there would be enough room to add some scroll engraving to the side, she agreed that would look beautiful, but wondered if I would be able to engraver her brand, which was her father's brand. I of course said yes and expressed a proud smile with the thought of being able to engrave such an honorable symbol attached with many years of memory. I asked Ann to tell a little about her story.
Thank you Ann! Thank you for letting me be a part of an heirloom piece that will continue through-out the ages. I am honored.

There are no words to describe, the beauty in the work you did, and in the spirit in which you did it, It is something that couldn't have been done, better, or with more love and feeling, than what you did for me. Thank you Turtle from the bottom of my heart.
