R. M. Williams Quotes

In plaiting, one of the most intricate artifacts I know is the watch pouch, made from a single stand of leather, that Dollar Mick taught me in the camp at Ettalowie. Based on a knot of great detail, it is always a prized possession of its owner. Over the years I have made a number of these and given some to my sons as Christmas presents, together with special watches.
