The Bison has been a symbol of strength for thousands of years. In my own life, I share the road system with them here in Yellowstone Country. I am reminded of there ever enduring ways as Man seems to quickly drift by them through this time era. I can see them never showing a need to move faster than they do, but to continue upon their path and be steadfast through their own time. This buckle is a tribute to that idea of the state of being steadfast; to hold true to a world outside of the hustle and bustle of modern day man. Thus this buckle's name: Steadfast. Materials: Sterling Silver so far. As I work, so many hours per day, I go through different phases of listening entertainment. Not all songs, I find myself listening to different podcast from time to time. One of my favorites is the radio shows from the past. Gunsmoke would be my favorite radio show. A gentleman by the name of Dennis Humphrey has put together an extensive collection of not only Old Time Radio but TV shows too, including cartoons. With out his knowledge, he has been a part of my creations over the last year and more. His hard work putting together his collections has given me hours of my favorite, the best western radio shows of the past. I have had the privilege in the past year to get to know Marshall Matt Dillon, Kitty, Chester, and Doc. Really the fastest gun in the west was Dillon. There is something about a good radio show, but as we all know, "Video Killed the Radio Star." Thank you Dennis for all of your work putting these collections together! As a thank you to Dennis, I am attaching a link to one of the Gunsmoke shows, "Billy The Kid." If you enjoy the times past radio shows too, and you would like to know more, you can go to Dennis' website where he sales many of his collections for all of us to enjoy! http://oldtimeradiodvd.com/
![]() People often ask where I receive my artistic ideas from. I cannot answer for anyone else except myself, but I believe all I am doing is moving my hands, Creator seems to fill in the blanks. As for inspiration, all I must do is open my door and walk outside. There is more than ample inspiration here in the mountains. I love working custom pieces. They always give me a chance to step outside of my ideas and imagination, and see things a bit different. Ann's Heirloom Ring. Each piece has a great story attached to them. This ring has two great stories. ![]() After a long wait, I have finally received my Federal Firearms License. This license will enable me to take on firearm projects to engrave. Up to now, I have only been able to engrave what ever firearm I owned. This is exciting for me as an young entrepreneur; to expand my knowledge and push forward with a dream. If you have any questions, please give me a call, or email, or text, or Facebook, or, well you get the idea.
![]() Living in Montana has brought me many years of memorable moments. Including the day I asked Jessica to be my wife. Jessica and I chose our wedding backdrop at the foothills of the southern Madison Range in south central Montana. Just a year earlier she and I were on my birthday hike in the Hilgard Mountains of the southern Madison Range. At 9600 feet, with a vista of 11,000 foot mountains and high alpine lakes, I knelt to my knees and asked her to be my wife. She undoubtedly answered yes with tears of joy in her eyes; and after fumbling through tear blurred vision of excitement and joy, I was able to get her engagement band on the right finger.
Laney Lou and the Bird Dogs! Highly Recommended! Wayne Krzycki came out to hang out with our wayward crew, and he brought Willy and Waylon to add to the amazing scenery. The three of them brought in my beautiful bride and her father right up to the aisle. What a treat to have them chauffeuring friends and family around.
