Quality hand carved leather goods.
Welcome and thanks for taking an interest in the work that i create.
I am a one man band that mainly makes arm guards/ bracers for traditional archers and historical re-enactors but can create almost anything such as, archery quivers, knife sheaths, custom motorbike seats, custom guitar straps etc ...... if it's made using leather, and you can think of it, I can probably make it for you....just ask!!!
All the items that you see in the pictures on this site have been made by myself using quality vegetable tanned leather which is the only leather that will allow the carving and still retain the design once finished and sealed.
The carving is achieved by first applying the design to the leather with a stylus and then cutting almost every line with a swivel knife, this is followed by beveling all the cut lines to achieve the 3D look and then detailed tooling and shading can be done depending on the design i am working on.
Please take a look at the gallery for some work in progress pictures and various other completed items.....and if you would like a price for any work of your own design then please just ask...I like a challenge!!
Happy shootin,
Bigfoot
