To purchase call 208-935-7740. This is a hand forged set of one-piece, Boone Style spurs. The steel to construct the spurs was first bumped up and then drawn out and taper-forged to the correct thickness and width with my hammer and anvil to the correct dimension from a piece of 7-inch ¾ x ¾ mild steel.

   I cut the shank with an electric hacksaw and then filed it by hand to its final shape. I built a graver tool from a worn out round file and chased the inside shank and heel bands with Bob Boones’ style of iron chasing. 

   Then I stamped the heel bands while hot with two different stamping tools which I forged from annealed coil spring steel. I then split and shaped the heel bands were then to fit a size 8 man’s cowboy boot. 

   I forged the heel buttons from 3/8-inch round stock and headed them out while hot on a heading tool made from a section of flat truck spring. I cut the heel buttons with an nc-20 die to thread into the bands which may be removed to allow for easier use of changing out and adjusting spur straps 

   I cut the 3½-inch 10-point rowel from 3/8 mild steel plate and reduced to .350 thickness to give the rowel points a more complete tapered cone shape. I meticulously cut and hand filed each point. 

   I then inset the rowel pin into the outside shank and riveted it on the inside of the shank.  I then hammered three, 1-ounce silver Canadian maple leaves to a .45 to .50 thickness, cut them out, and overlaid them on the outside of the spur’s buttons, heel bands, and shank. I engraved the silver with a similar pattern as seen on Bob Boone’s Brazo’s spurs, except for the change in the river’s name to “Salmon” in reference to our family’s local geographic tie to this river.

   The steel parts on the spurs I treated with an accelerated rusting technique to give them an antique and slightly pitted look.

    Cowboy Hall of Fame saddle maker Bill Allison of Roundup, Montana,(yet another geographic tie for us) built the vintage style hand-cut floral pattern leather spur straps included with the purchase of these spurs. His name is stamped on the inside of the straps.  

    This set of spurs has the name “Law” stamped on the inside of each heel band. The detail in the creation of these spurs has been added for perspective buyers to understand the many hours of hand labor involved in creating this piece of western art. These spurs are humbly styled after the great Texas spur maker Bob Boone who built his spurs one at a time by hand.
