We make leather washers for knife and tool handles since 1949.

Well – even Rembrandt had to sell a few to get started. Let’s say there are Tejas Tools and then there are Tejas “Art” Tools…..

Now if I was to make some Tejas Tree Tools to replace the bonsai originals… there would be no need for bling I think. The originals had no bling about them at all….

I was afraid of just that reaction. I may have to sacrifice some of the purity of my art, just to get a bit more attention. It looks like I will have to go through a ‘bling’ phase.

Bingo!

I think this is different enough that it would sell as a high end scratch awl….

There is no higher compliment I could give…congrats!
