I know the two wooden pieces on the side with rings what they are but I don’t know the English name, part of it is missing it was made of leather and filled with horse hair.
Part of a horse harness goes around the neck of the horsre.

Bit collar

I vote for the troll carrying the canadian flag. Canada is, after all, above the stars and stripes :)

Junk it is no longer…it is now Americana art.

You need my 1860s iron beetle bootjack to finish that….uh….Masterpiece? LOL

Roman…..the wooden and metal pieces that you are referring to go around the collar and are called hames.
You did a great job and I think that it is a very nice piece.

This is quite a handsome piece of Americana folkart. It’s got a lot of character and a lot of “bones”. It’s substantial, not whimpy. Very well done.

How about “Home on the Range”?

we all do different things at different levels and the problem here in lies in how we make and/or intemperate comments and thoughts of what we want to think and do, only to expect the guy next to you, to know what he’s thinking and to have him/her think what we think. Its fucked up.

Its like Golfing

looking at a person and clearly stating a goal of a simple task of cutting a 2×12 fir beam, three feet shorter then the distance between the bulk head and the pony wall and coming back 2 hours later and they think I wrote the answer down on the ceiling ?

cause they are still looking at it ?

I look at them, I look at the ceiling and I look at back at them ?

“Are you going to cut that beam” ?

“Oh Ya, you betcha, Oh Ya” they say

I am always perplexed and worry as to why our world has forgotten how to milk a cow and common sense has gone the way of wannabe craftsmen ? but they make a car go both ways ….

teach me that life is but a game of who can bullshit the best and who doesnt like the game of “Poker” where eventually we have a loser : )

I love roots. They seem to separate

men from boys and women from girls as 2 steps away lies paradise where smiles begin and bad memories fade into future thoughts of making a difference for the greater good of what ever floats your boat.

for me

it comes in small moments of bliss

I happen to love all cultures and do believe that it is easier to teach people then to herd cats albeit small moments would say otherwise and

I think that those who don’t think so, are another lesson in life and those who beg to forget forgiveness

will fail to dream
