Last year a piece was made for the Cotulla Wild Hog Cookoff that had the same two horseback
riders with the outline of Texas in the center and Texas written across the state. 
This year with the oil boom in South Texas (Eagle Ford shale) an old style oil derrick was
in order.  The piece is mounted on a stand to display for the upcoming auction.  There are
five hooks for coats/caps and hats.

Recently, we made a really heavy duty cargo
rack capable of holding and transporlting
a grown nilgai bull.  The person that will
be using this is fully trained by Mr. Mike
Mireles of the Keneny ranch, (La Parra).
In memory of Mike, a plaque on the back of
the rack shows the words that Mike used
when he radioed  that a nilgai had successfully
been taken.  "WE ALREADY HAVE MEAT"

The lettering is just welded on the plate in
pretty much a free style as it is really hard
to see a chalk line as you weld.
