That’s all I do. 30 years of experience in custom crafting and carving artistic leather creations. I typically take orders 3 to 6 months in advance because every project is demanding and time consuming now matter how large or small. Here’s a recent project in progress and the end result below, enjoy!

Beginning with this blog and ending with adding more photos and fun stuff regarding this lost art form that I love with a passion.

To get things off to a good start I’ll share some fun in-progress and finished shot pictures for a recent custom order I completed.
