The most unique of all walking canes. The perfect cane to make any cane collection complete, these walking canes are constructed of real bull organs, fully sterilized and professionally prepared. The most interesting part of using this cane is that no one has any idea what it is made out of until you tell them. The bull organ has the appearance of natural wood because of its dark appearance and the shiny lacquer. Using one of these canes will surprise when you tell what it is and is sure to create an interesting conversation with anyone!

One set of Gordy Alderson Custom Made Bits or Spurs
Donated by Dr. Chance Armstrong

Gordy Alderson is a consummate artisan who lives in Tucson, Arizona where he hand makes custom designed spurs and bits.  He is a former rodeo cowboy and farrier with a unique talent for crafting treasures for people who both love their design and appreciate their functionality. Gordy’s clients range from regular horse people to stars of the rodeo and cutting horse world.  The waiting time for one of Gordy’s pieces of art is no less than six months.  Testimonials to Gordy’s work are not hard to find. “It’s cool to me that spurs Gordy made for actor Robert Duvall and singer Garth Brooks, and one of several bits he made for “King George” Strait are identified on the website the exact same way—jotted down in the same black ink in Gordy’s handwriting. And Alderson Bits and Spurs aren’t just Made in America. They’re made with Gordy’s own two hands.”From Gordy himself: “I give my cowboy customers the most credit.” By listening to them, he consistently designs equipment that works, both in the field and in high level competitions.  From Fred Whitfield, winner of eight Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) world championships and three National Finals Rodeo (NFR) aggregate titles:  “I’ve still got a bit Gordy made my rookie year (1990),” he said. “He’s made my bits since he started making bits. I have a few other bits, too, but I only use Gordy’s spurs. I got a new pair of spurs from him the other day. He has to turn work away. His craftsmanship is unmatched, as far as I’m concerned. Every horse needs a bit that works for him, and I have all kinds of different ones. Gordy makes one of the most balanced bits there is. If you have a problem with a horse, Gordy can build you a bit to fix it. He puts a lot of quality into his work, and it shows. You get results from Gordy Alderson Bits and Spurs, there’s no doubt about it.” Dr. Chance Armstrong, Diplomate ACT is a friend of Gordy’s and owner of some of his personalized work. Chance is generously donating a certificate for a custom made bit or set of spurs that you will design along with Gordy.  It’s hard to say what the “fair market value” of a functioning work of art like this would be. Maybe like the Master Card commercials from a few years ago? . . . . “Priceless” 

Here are some examples of Gordy’s work. For more, go to his website: http://gabitsandspurs.com/
