LONGHORN

Harris has completed several pieces with the ‘Texas Longhorn’ theme.  Residing in Texas, a vast market exists for this Iconic symbol.  The table (above) was completed in 2006 atop a pre-existing homemade end table with Coors Light and gold Budweiser bottle caps.  It resides at the home of W. Cooke in Ft. Worth, TX.
