The “BullWhip” Saw:

Jim Hoff, Lumber Jack / heavy equipment operator, a friend of mine from the Queen Charlotte Islands (Canada) gave me a number of these rare “Whip” saws. Traditionally used in logging and lumber mills they suffered the ravages of time and have lost their wooden handles. The Bull Horns that have replaced them bring together pieces of our past from logging and cattle ranching.

Display Spiral:  The Ram Spiral shown was originally conceived as a chair leg for the Excalibur Chair       ( in progress section). The Sword and Dagger were designed and made by Kevin to honor his Scottish/Irish heritage; Clan: Gunn, Family: Swanson.

The Samurai:  For a Martial Artist, the sword has always been the epitome of Form following Function for me.  The “Stick Kantana” dates to a time when the samurai were being forbidden to carry their swords in Japan. Their innovative solution was the “stick Kantana”.  The war helmet of the samurai has been adorned with horns, among other things, to impose a forbidding image in battle. “The Samurai” is a striking concept piece created to honor these two traditions.

Long Horn Wall Mounts:  Traditionally, heavy wood and leather bolsters are used for Long Horn Mounts. DHD uses a lightweight formed Polyurethane Bolster thereby allowing them to be mounted almost anywhere without special hardware.
