Hello, leather community.
After years of longing to make leather goods I finally decided to pull the trigger, buy the tools and make my wife a purse for Christmas. I’ve been a chromatography engineer in the pharmaceutical industry for the last 11 years w aspirations to make it as an oil painter.
Picked up a bunch of books on leather working and tooling. So far I’ve only made a head knife sheath from scratch and am moving on to the purse. Leather working is much more complex than I anticipated, which is a turn on for me I didn’t expect.
Below are some of my paintings and the sheath. Look forward to getting to know you all.
Ps. I also make custom made slingshots. If there are any shooters, please hit me up!
Wish you all a great Sunday
