Wallets and Card Cases
The pieces that get handled every day, and show it best. Cut, stitched and burnished one at a time, then carried until the leather takes the shape of whoever is carrying it.
See wallets & card cases →Belts
Cut from a single strap, edged and finished by hand, and fitted with a buckle you can take off and move to the next one.
A belt is the simplest thing on this bench and the least forgiving. There is nowhere to hide a wandering stitch line or a lazy edge, and a strap cut from a soft part of the hide will stretch and tell on you inside a year.
Made in the weights and lengths the wearer needs, in the finishes shown here and in others. If you want one to match a wallet or a sheath, say so and it gets cut from the same hide.

Knife Sheaths and Tool Carriers
Made to the blade, not to a pattern book. Welted, stitched and burnished so the edge sits where it should and stays there.

The Paul Bunyan Wedge Pouch
A felling-wedge pouch that rides on the belt, built heavy enough for the job and finished like something you would keep.
