I've been working with leather since 2011. I've extensively studied Swiss army leather work, and European styles for several years. I both collect and dissect antique examples of these leather items to better understand them or recreate them.

I do my best to emulate the tried and true methods of the older saddler generations. I don’t run any machines as all of my work is handmade in the traditional sense (awl, pricking irons, needle, thread).

I haven’t posted all of my work, just some of the notable pieces that I feel are relevant.  

I also enjoy building furniture with hand tools, and the occasional power tool. I’m certainly not a purist in hand tools only regard!
