The final product



Red Tote

Hand-stitched red leather tote.
Grommets hold leather cord attached to keys and wallet.


Hand-stitched Railing

20' long hand-stitched English Saddle leather railing.
After it was completed, I went back and clipped the extra linen thread and waxed it a few times. 

Hand-tooled Waste Paper Basket

This was one of my first tooling commissions.  A hexagonal waste paper basket.  Hand-stitched and hand-tooled with rambling rose vines.  After 18 years, it is just starting to look good.
