Hand carved and Hand tooled Leather Items

These first 2 photos show a bit of how the pattern is drawn onto the leather and then cut with a swivel knife. After that various tools are used to lift the pattern out and give it the nice 3D type of feel.

Small purse or all around bag for your stuff.

Detail of the carving on the bag above.

The one below is made with a basket weave tool. Of which there are many styles to choose from.

Bigger purse or maybe laptop case. These are one of a kind items.

This is a close up of the detail on the bag above.

This is a basket weave belt. A popular style.

Here is a nice example of a brief case or lap top computer bag.

Here is a carved Harley Davidson eagle.

Carving these letters is difficult and can easily lead to starting over.

Another example of a simple floral pattern.

Soft Buckskin and Leather Bags

Here is a collection of Buckskin and Leather Bags. These are a representation of bags I have made. These can be made to custom sizes or whatever you may need a bag for.

Here is a Buckskin bag with some sacred symbols and a Quartz Crystal button closure.

The Bag below was bought by a lady to put her Tarot cards in. Notice the nice leather laced edges.

These bags are around 2.5 by 3 inches or so. They are just small buckskin Medicine bags with a crystal button.

The bag below is about 1.5 by  3/4 inch, with a small crystal button.

Hand tooled and Hand carved, Hand sewn, One of a kind Gifts.

There is a braided horsehair bridle and reins in this photo. I also have made horsehair belts, both hitched and braided. They take quite a bit of time to make.

This is the suede lining in this particular box. The photo just above is some edge detail on this very same box. The top of the box had a similar floral motif.

This particular box turned out very nice. All of that stiching is done by stabbing holes with an awl and then 2 needles are shoved through the holes in opposite directions, this is called saddle stiching. In the old days people used hog bristles for the needles.

These are some very nice Cowboy Cuffs. These protected the cowboy's wrists and forearms from all manner of non-office work hazards.
