On rare occasions I get an order for a hat that allows me to throw caution to the wind and really have some fun with the craft. The kind of hat build where perfection is the opposite of the ultimate goal. When the young man in California asked me to recreate the "Ellsworth" hat my first question was "WHY?!". I told him that I thought it was a just a beat up, wonky looking hat that I probably wouldn't want to be seen wearing in public (how's that for great salesmanship?), but he stood his ground and told me that's exactly what he wanted. Hey, who am I to argue? I loved the HBO series Deadwood and was in awe of most of the character's hats, however, not so much the one Jim Beaver's character wore. Regardless of my feelings, I dove right in and did my best to stay true to the spirit of the hat, right down to the mattress ticking fabric hatband. Now I have to admit that, not only was it great fun to make, it's definitely grown on me and I'll miss it when it's gone. Who'd a thought?

I'm guessing he's maybe referencing a post by Deadlyhandsome from a few weeks back that was from the tunnel inside a dam.

Love that Topeka, Dd. Had my eyes open for one since you first posted it. Crazy color on the snakes.

Thanks Bama! Pecards seems to bring out the color on old reptile skins.

I second that motion you really know how to make those western felts come to life. I picked up a pretty rough Topeka granite grey awhile back, haven’t got around to doing anything with it yet.

Thanks Yamahana! I like the granite color, if I ever come across one in my size, I'm buying it! I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with it.

That No. 1Q really is sharp DD!

Just took delivery of the Resistol San Antonio 3X. Better pics & detail to come after I straighten it up a bit.
