    Menard Kiltie's visit

    Menard Kiltie contacted me a while back and wanted to visit my shop. He was interested in stopping by for a sporran and to visit. He came to North Carolina from Scotland to visit his sister and while he was here, he had me make him a Lion Rampant sporran in oxblood. I talked him into bringing his sister down to the Lazy 5 Ranch where I work and riding with me on a horse drawn wagon ride. We then came back to my house for a great visit and some photos him wearing his new sporran. I have made two great friends, and will be making every effort to visit John in Scotland in the next couple of years. I know, I know, it ain;t so without pictures so here it is.

    That's really fine craftsmanship. Congrats on a beautiful piece of artwork.

    Lazy 5, huh? Did you see the zebras?
