I'm living in Kyrgyzstan now. In May I'm moving to Denver, CO.

I love working with genuine leather. It's my hobby.

My first experience was creating leather sheaths for my hunting knifes 2013:

My wife always watched when I worked with leather.

About four months ago she told me that she wanted to try too.

She made a great progress up to date.
