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.
See belts →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.
A wallet is the piece a maker gets judged on, because it is the one that lives in a pocket and gets opened a dozen times a day. Thin enough to sit flat, stitched tight enough that it does not gape after a season, and edged so the layers read as one piece of leather rather than three glued together.
These are made in runs and in single commissions, in whatever weight and color the job calls for. The display below is a real table of finished work, not a catalog render.

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.
