As much as I LOVE the first one with the pick axe, I gotta go with the second for the win- the orientation of the cab with the deer is just too perfect!!

Hard to choose - but the last one with the wolf & the perfect landscape to fit, is over the top ! Thanks for showing them - good inspiration. Patty

I've been grinding some cabs for bolos lately and those are making mine feel very plain!

These are all gorgeous! Hard to pick a favorite because they are all equally appealing, but I think if someone made me pick one, it would be the second one with the deer.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

Especially love the wolf, the cab looks like a place you would hear them howling!

Could we see the backs? Do you make your own tips for the leather?

They are all very nice but I have to say number three is my favorite. I really love the wolf above the picture Jasper cab.

Thanks everybody for your positive feedback.

Yes I made the bolo tips. I have an alternate version which includes silver eagle feathers. The cone version is very finicky to fabricate and definitely not cost effective. There is nothing special to see on the backs. I use Rio Grande stainless sliders.

Thanks! Yeah, thin hollow cones are a pain to make, great job on those. Love the shot plate stars on the deer one, don't see much of that. I have Tucker Tools shot plates, I like to use them for small embellishments.
