Terry Selser first learned to braid when he was a young boy in the Boy Scouts. Then he joined the Army, where he worked with missiles and later was a heavy equipment mechanic. While in the Army he married his wife, Rhonda, and they have two sons.
When the family transferred to Fort Polk, Louisiana they realized that this was where they wanted to remain and raise their sons. After Terry retired from the Army they bought the 40 acre farm which they call Marsh Mellow Meadows, where they began to raise sheep and other animals.
Terry started to get back into the crafts that he learned as a young boy. He acquired a small lathe and started to make some of the tools that his wife uses in her spinning and weaving. He also got back into braiding and begin to make leads and halters for the sheep, also leashes for the dogs and reins for horses.
  
Terry is always busy!
