Cowboy chic ‘FUNITURE’ by Lure of the Dim Trails (1989-2002)

 


It has been nearly 20 years since I crafted the last piece of my Cowboy Chic 'FUNITURE,' but I still hear from old friends and customers from time to time, so I thought I’d give you one last look at my art…

UPDATE 2022


It recently occurred to me that credit for my desire to create goes to my ancestors...



The beautiful Pinwheel Quilt in the photo above was made by my mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother in Creston, Montana circa 1930. Grandma's art won her a 1st Place Ribbon at the Los Angeles County Fair in the mid 1960s.


The leaded glass "Cactus" lamp above was created by my Dad in the 1980s. He was a 3rd generation woodworker who taught me many of my woodworking skills.

Happy Trails
