I have been doing leatherwork for about 10 years. I started taking classes from WC of Leather by WC in 1997 and am still learning new tips and tricks from him even now as he teaches classes at Standing Bear's Trading Post I have a personal web page called Holding Onto Hope - Abuse Survivors and those that Self Injure - Holding Onto Hope, Which is primarily a site for survivors of child abuse or domestic violence and those that Self Injure.

Hi folks I'm an older (58) southern gent from the great state of Alabama(Roll Tide). I've been doing the leather thing for about 8 months now.

I started learning to build saddles a couple years ago…

Good day to you all. Just thought I'd introduce myself. My name is Shawn Zoladz (aka The Major), owner of Major Productions. Currently operating my business on the side, not quite ready to go full time yet. I do many different types and styles of leather work including holsters, biker gear, wallets, purses, belts. My passion is fantasy art on leather and figure carving. But have not had that much time with all the wallets I am making lately. as far as carving goes, I do traditional western, figure, and I am starting to learn sheridan. Look forward to the discussions, and the sharing of the expertise of everyone. Thanks and Happy Tooling . I put a sample of an uncolor…
