My favorite job is using architectural design methods to build unique shapes into practical leather bags. Recently I developed a way of layering and cutting leather using miter techniques. This enables me to build shapes with compound curves that have never been done by any leather smith. Currently I am also having great fun discovering and developing a contemporary process for transferring my original artwork permanently onto leather. I still make basic belts and practical, small leather articles and am happiest when I am cutting, shaping, dying and finishing a great smelling piece of cowhide into a functional, well crafted object.
