mare than 60 hours work
and a purse he made for
his wife took nearly as
long.
But his work will last
for many years con-
sidering the hand stit-
ching, wax treatment and
quality leather used.
He does much of his
work from patterns but„
also takes pride in his
free hand work that
adorns many family
gifts. Arid he likes nothing
better tliann the challenge
.of making something
somebody wants from
scratch.
In that line he has made
a rifle sling,. seat cover,
bible coyer and would
some day like to make a
saddle bag for himself.
It seems there is
nothing Bob cannot make
or has not already made
out of leather but three of
the four firsts and one
second at .the Western
Fair were. for his pic-
tures.
One depicting lions took -
a second in his first
exhibit and since then he
has copped three straight
firsts with a colorful
rendition of Paul Revere,,
fighting stallions and his
prized work, the Last
Supper.
Bob can't sit still very
long 'which one of the
main reasons he enjoys
working with leather but
he also admitted there
was a `sense of ac-
complishment' to what he
does as evidenced by the
fact that he makes many
of his own patterns and
designs.
The Kellys may have
difficultydeciding what
to give the grandchildren-
for Christmas but a
homespun leather
creation of Bob's will
certainly be a treasured
gift.
