About Me

Started leather working in earnest in 1973. Opened a shop in Tullahoma, TN, and operated, shows, retail, and some wholesale there until  early 1977, when we sold the mall shop.  Next started a wholesale business in Kansas City, MO. Closed that due to lack of sales, and kept working on and off as a hobby until 2007, when I retired from John Deere.

Just worked on designs and business plan until opening another business in Cary, NC in 2010. This business is doing shows around NC, SC, and VA,  and on-line sales through Etsy. Now, nearing retirement, I only do shows in North Carolina, and through Etsy. Most of my products are hand tooled belts, of the best quality I can make.

I swear by Hermann Oak, Fiebings, and a few other companies for my products.
