Howdy

Back in the day the guy that carved your tombstone and the guy that tooled your saddle was the same guy. They were called stamp hands.
I worked as a stamp hand for some saddle makers, I was at onetime classified as a master leathersmith. I took an apprenticeship in tombstone carving just to get the feel of doing both like the old timers would've done. Anyway I don't want to talk your ears off or bore you into an early grave.  

Oh yeah, and thanks for stopping in.
