Welcome to RAllanK Leather!
My name is Allan and I have been hand carving and tooling leather since around the age of 12. Nevermind how long ago that was!
My initial work was in wallets, belts, and purses. But my love is in tooling larger items with more room for design and expression. I currently specialize in book covers and covers for consumer electronic devices.
Have a family bible that you would like to protect and decorate with a carved leather cover with your favorite passage inscribed? How about a personalized cover for your favorite novel or photo album. Are you in recovery or know someone who is? I have many ready-made designs for covers for the literature from Alcoholics Anonymous and other 12 step programs for that special sponsor or loved one in recovery.
I also tool portraits of pets. Have a furry friend that you would like remembered in leather? How about a leather clock or wall hanging with your favorite picture of your pet?
Though my love and specialty is in the carving, tooling and dying of leather, I do welcome all inquiries for your leather project. I do all my own work including tooling and dying of the leather and the stitching, lacing and any other assembly required to complete the final product.
I look forward to hearing your ideas for that carved leather project you have in mind.

For Leather Alcoholics Anonymous Big Book Cover With Serenity PrayerI couldn't be happier with the finished cover that I ordered. It's better than I imagined . Pictures online don't do it justice. It was a quick process Allan was awesome to deal with. Likes to share his ideas and hear yours . It was fast and worth every cent, if not quite a bit more .

For Jerome's Looking for something that will fit into a womaI was very pleased with how professional Allen was in working with me. He went beyond what I expected.
