With over thirty years experience, I offer the finest in Indian artifact reproductions and restorations. I have an extensive research base to help make almost any plains or woodlands item you may desire. I invite you to browse the web, and see what others offer. You will not find better quality, or prices. I tan my own hides, and offer 19th century style beadwork that is unsurpassed any where. This is truly museum quality work,  and is highly recommended for the re-enactor, hobbiest, pow wow dancer, interior designers, or educational displays.

From a satisfied customer... Dear Ric, I picked up the gun case this afternoon. May I say I NEVER have I seen such workmanship and attention to detail. Your work exceeds my wildest imagination for looks, size, beadwork, etc. You are without a doubt one of the most talented people I have ever had the pleasure to work with.This gun case is incredible!!! I can't wait to show it to my friends. The length is perfect, everything is perfect. You really need to replace the gun case on your website with this one someday. It is far more detailed and would showcase your talents much better than the one currently on the website. When I look at the man hours you must have spent on this piece, I am in awe. I have NO talent in this area so I am even more impressed with your work. I would recommend to to ANYONE who is looking for the finest in Native American or Western art, especially reproductions. You may use this email, or my name, in advertising your work in any way you see fit. Hopefully when you slow down a bit you will do a knife sheath for me. Warmest personal regards and by all means, HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR. I KNOW I WILL THANKS TO YOU. David Nelson in Sacramento
