I have a nephew that is an eternal teenage (52 or 53) Eric Schleuter aka RIKKI STAR, who in Jersey is a "disc-jockey" & also a Wanna-Be Biker. Eric or to keep peace, Rikki was the inspiration for this bracelet.

…IF  U  R  the lucky person that owns my creation, & you like it, I would appreciate any feedback…  

I work awfully close with my selling prices!   I figure my cost of materials + my Shipping & Handling  and about 3%-5% profit so I can afford to buy more materials.  Leather is expensive, TOOLS are VERY costly & this is one ov my hobbies. This way I can do what I enjoy and provide you with a quality product that U can enjoy and pass-on from generation to generation.  People that do leather work as a profession usually take cost of material + hours X’s 3= HIGH RETAIL, (not me). 

I, as an ex-cowboy AND as a Leather craftsman, cannot compete with Chinas’ prices. BUT, what I can do that they don’t, is that I can AND do make ur purchase personalized.  Everything that I create starts out as a hide of LEATHER.   I make my own patterns and I then trace it, cut it out. I then do whatever I have to produce a fine quality hand crafted ALL LEATHER creation that you helped me create. I hand sew whatever needs to be stitched. What I do is commonly known as "Saddle Stitching" and it too, is done by hand.        Some of my customers want me to personalize their order.    Personalized work could be anything as simple as dying (not paint) their order, or simply stamping their initials or as expensive as "hand tooling" their order. 

CUSTOM work sometimes requires me making a "working" template along with a drawing of the tooling (which involves hours of work). I then, either email this oak tag replica and the customer sends me their approval at which time I give the customer a quote on the price. with all of this being said, I then expect the customer to pay me a 50% NON-REFUNDABLE deposit through my account with "Pay Pal”.     Everything is Hand Made right here in Dania Beach Florida, U.S.A.….. 

My initials are BB and my # is 8 so you will see my signature on everything that I create:  My number is 8 & by extending the Y in "by", to dissect the 8, I now have back to back "B's". if U don’t see my signature, then it’s not an original.
