My name is Gábor Ruzsán a self employed dreamer, wood & leather worker.
I make fabulous rétes aka strudel and home made pasta, which can satisfy everybody’s taste buds.
My first woodworking lesson (experiment) was in Hungary the summer of 1967 at age 5. My uncle Janos was “baby” sitting me at his new house, what he was building mostly by himself. He was showing me the “yes I can make it” life approach and it does work. Wandering at a construction site was a great adventure for a kid like me and yes, I just had to look, so I can find “the treasure” what I was looking for: a broken saw blade. A “real” tool what I can use and work with and show off my handy work. First I made sure it is safe so part of it I wrapped it with a rag to make a comfortable handle. My uncle was still busy finishing an outside light installation. Now the big question: what should I do with my new hand tool? Outside only broken bricks and big wooden beams, they did not attract me. Maybe inside I can find some nice workable wood. Oh boy! I did eyeball a very nice shiny wood. It happened to be attached to the brand new bed’s footboard in the bedroom. Watching the sawdust falling out from under my new hand tool was a real satisfaction. I managed to make about a half an inch deep cut. I could not go deeper (I couldn’t even try) because my uncle stepped inside to the bedroom and he was watching and truly looking for words. There was about 2 seconds of silence. These 2 seconds seamed like I was frozen in time. I just costumized their new bed. Permanently.
Him and his wife always mentioned this story with a smile and never an angry word.
Few years later and on an other continent (America) me and my wife was walking through a craft show at Bethel NY, where we met with one of the exhibitor Peter Galbert chair maker and as a gift, my wife signed me up for a chair making class.
With a few words this is my woodworking story.
My leather making experience and knowledge was inherited from my parents. Both of them was a long time leather worker, they manufactured all kinds of leather balls and harnesses for horses.
My designs and makes are focused on traditional technics combined with functional minimalism.

For Garny - Stool - Tiger Maple For Kitchen CounterGabor custom made a tiger maple stool for me to match two stools made 7 years ago. He went out of his way to find the right piece of wood to work with so they matched as closely as possible. The stools from 7 years ago still look almost new. Sturdy and beautiful. You don’t see craftsmanship like this anymore. Slight delay in shipping but through no fault of the craftsman.

For Garny - Leather Pen Roll - Buffalo Leather - Dark Brown LeatherGabor Ruzsan was a pleasure to work with. We decided on a custom leather pen roll -- it is absolutely beautiful, just what I hoped to find, and the quality and finish are everything I was promised. I received it in good time, according to when Gabor said I would. I'm a thoroughly satisfied customer! Thank you Gabor! Peter.

For Garny - ?10 Leather Card Case From Whiskey Color LeatherFast Shipment and a quality product. It is a perfect price point compared to big brand names who can sell their card holders from $100-$1,000. Definitely worth the buy. Smooth and the card numbers do not get imprinted in the material. It can hold up to 6 cards, but I myself only use it for 3 cards (Credit Card, Debit Card, and Drivers License), and it still fits perfectly fine. No edges, just a smooth card holder. The normal wear makes the product look genuine and unique. Overall, I am very satisfied.

For Garny - ?9 Minimalist Leather WalletThe leather minimalist wallet was really a beautiful quality item for sure....but was priced at a premium and after owning several similar type items over a period of 30 years or so, I can say you will be paying a premium value. Thinking $75.00 tops would have been more in line. That said, it is a wonderful piece of work. Also, there is not a lot of room for cash if that is a consideration.
Rob Palmer
For Garny - ?9 Minimalist Leather WalletThe product arrived in a timely manner and was exactly as advertised. Some Custom Made products look better in the photo than in reality; not so with the Minimalist Leather Wallet. I look forward to using it in my travels in the U. S. and Europe.
Cliff Woods
For Garny ? 9 - Minimalist Leather WalletThe product is perfect, and the packaging/delivery and kind note accompanying it were remarkable. Upon opening it, my first thought was that products from GARNY would be perfectly suitable for direct delivery as gifts (as mine was for myself - oops). It is a fine product, and the follow-through and delivery were very thoughtfully done. Thank you.
