My bolo ties use tension fitting to glide the center piece into place. 4 mm braided leather cord barely fits into the holes I carefully drill, and the end caps are from a .17 HMR rifle that fit perfectly onto the cord. The wood comes from my dad and other furniture and wood craftsmen.

I like to combine worlds when I design my collection. Rustic ranch life meets elegant refinement. And in the Lyndsey Rieple style, this bolo can be worn from either side- all sides are beautiful. 

The wood is finished with a 100% natural tung oil, which comes from a tung tree mostly found in China.
