Custom Leather Work

Leatherwork was the first craft I mastered, beginning in the eighth grade in junior high school. Through the intervening years, I have made most of my own leather including rigs for fast draw, IPSC competition and cowboy action shooting.

Since retiring from my day job, I have been filling a lot of requests for a variety of rigs, but especially for concealment holsters.

These photos give you a good overview of what I can do for you. Click the images to see a more detailed photo.
