Need a guitar or bass strap? Let me design and make a custom strap for you, or make to your design specifications. I use 8 - 9 oz veg tanned leather for my instrument straps, dye them to your specifications, will hand stitch on single layer straps for looks if desired, hand stitch on multi-layer straps for integrity, and tool them as desired. Depending on work load in the shop, project could take 4 - 5 weeks, but I will specify that in any proposal

This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
I am a custom leather and wood crafter producing artisan, one of a kind, products.
As a leathercrafter, I have made several custom instrument straps, holsters/sheaths, Bible/book covers, rifle and pistol cases as well as other utilitarian projects for multiple uses. Let me design and make you truly something special and one of a kind.
As a woodcrafter, I produce custom wood turnings, bowls and platters, up to 13.5" in diameter. These turnings are from green, locally sourced, materials that capture the beauty of what nature provides us. One of my favorite projects is to take logs from a favorite tree from someone's yard that perhaps fell during a storm, or they had to sacrifice due to age or encroachment on property and turn them into a treasure for that person to remember their tree forever.
I am a one-person shop, depending on work-load, projects may take a little longer than you might expect; however, I 100% finish my work before any deadline.

For Pat's Kinife sheathMy husband had been looking everywhere for a knife sheath, being a first time customer I was skeptical. However, Rick was in constant communication with me on status, mailing, etc. There was a sizing issue, Rick offered to pay return shipping and we received the perfect product this week. Beautiful leather and excellent workmanship! I would not hesitate if you are looking for a project he would make. Thanks again Rick! Pat Johnson, Powhatan VA

For Custom Sheath For Large Custom KnifeI ordered the Undertaker Bowie knife from Amazon back a few months ago. To my surprise the sheath was so tight I had a very difficult time accessing my knife when I needed it. As I tried to loosen the sheath it, it just wouldn't budge! Out of desperation, I reached out to Rick and gave him the dimensions, make and model of the knife. Within a few short weeks the sheath was delived and what a piece of craftsmanship! My knife slides in effortlessly and sits on my side with comfort. I can't possibly thank Rick enough for the time and work he put into making this sheath! I will be doing business with him again soon for my Cold Steel Outlaw Bowie knife to replace the dangler sheath it came with.
