I'm an artisan who loves leather. Most of the work I do is on a custom basis. Typical work includes belts, billfolds, clutches, purses, guitar straps, rifle slings, holsters, artwork (pictures), dream catchers, leather certificates, knife sheathes, etc. If it isn't listed, don't assume I don't do it! ASK!!

For Horse Collar for Gambler2.7I sent the original item to Ric to copy, but he unfortunately did not make it exact and it had to be redone. He made a decision to make it smaller without contacting me first (communicating could have avoided this). When I got the final while it was the right size the leather was only finished on one side while the original was finished on both sides. Also, the original was not sent back, I forgot to ask for it back and he didn't check with me before he destroyed it. When I spoke to him he was anything but happy about remaking it, but he did - just not with the same quality and detail of the first one he sent.

For Custom Spur Leathers For 1911 Cavalry Spurs4.8Product is perfect and exactly as advertised. The workmanship is impeccable and sized just as I requested. Shipping was fast, and I received my straps nearly an entire week ahead of the estimated delivery date. I would absolutely work with Ric again, and highly recommend his skill and expertise to others.
