I recently got the opportunity to transform someone’s trophies into beautiful, functional items. This Cape Buffalo hide became a bag that can be admired, displayed, and used. It is also a reminder of a fantastic hunt!

Must have been Italian leather!😜 This leather “spaghetti” is a byproduct of edge beveling a product in preparation for slicking and finishing.

A big stack of customized Sturdy Belts is ready to head out. These will be holding up pants for many years! Did you know you can get your company or organization logo stamped into your belts?

A custom mini backpack purse made it to a pleased customer. Should I add it to the lineup?

When friends come to visit and want a custom belt, I make one while they watch. Thanks !

About 12 years ago this was my small setup in my apartment with about $100 of second hand tools and whatever leather I could afford. I’m sure the tapping annoyed some neighbors, but I at least had a creative outlet. A lot has changed since then and my shop has grown. It’s a journey. I’m thankful for where I’ve been. It has brought me to where I am.

Have to be creative sometimes to hold a long project for hand sewing. Finishing up some custom Bible covers for some special folks.

Thank you to all who stopped in to visit and supported a small business at Rendezvous! It was great to catch up with old friends and meet some new ones!
