About the Leather
Everything we make here in the shop is made with American products. My leather is Herman Oak and Wickett & Craig, along with other American companies.
Each saddle, chaps, holster, saddlebag, headstall or other quality prepared item is uniquely crafted for the individual customer. We have the skill to create, brand, sketch or recreate to match existing items in a collection. Everything leather we generate is made custom, by hand, with a quality that comes only with decades of experience.

Hand Carving: the process of carving into the leather by hand, to produce a 3-dimensional design.
Stamping: used to create patterns and impressions.
Staining:adding color to the leather to enhance a carving.
Hand carving leather is done "by-hand". We don't use machines, or machined leather, such as synthetics. We use cowhide and some other skins, like deer skin, depending on the order. American cowhide is a top quality, long-lasting and durable product to work with
