Leather Goods

I began leatherworking as a direct result of forging knives.  I needed a way to protect and store knives for people to use. Starting with a roll of naturally tanned leather and some basic tools I learned to cut, shape, and detail leather pieces to marry form and function in a way that would last for years. This hobby, maybe more than other, taught me to sketch and iterate to make goods that highlight the natural properties of the material.
