silverwingit Report post Posted July 2, 2015 I just noticed from the latest Leather Crafter Journal that our own Bob Park (alias Hidepounder) has received the 2015 Al Stohlman Award! Congratulations to one of the finest leather crafters out there! No one deserves this more than Bob Park not only for his talent and experience but his willingness to share them so freely. We've all benefitted in one way or another from his generosity right here on this forum. Thank You, HidePounder for setting the bar so high!
