…IF U  R  the lucky person that owns mycreation, I would appreciate any feedback…

I work awfully close with my sellingprices!   I figure my cost ofmaterials + my Shipping & Handling and about 5%-15% profit so I can affordto buy more materials.  Leather isexpensive, TOOLS are VERY costly & this is one ov my hobbies. Thisway I can do what I enjoy and provide a quality product that U can enjoy andpass-on from generation to generation. People that do leather work as a profession usually take cost ofmaterial + hours X’s 3= HIGH RETAIL, (not me).

I, as an ex-cowboy AND as a Leathercraftsman, cannot compete with Chinas’ prices. BUT whatI can do that they don’t do, is that I can AND do make ur purchasepersonalized.  Everything that I createstarts out as a hide of LEATHER.   I makemy own patterns and I then trace it, cut it out. I then do whatever I have toproduce a fine quality hand crafted ALL LEATHER creation that you helpedme create. I hand sew whatever needs to be stitched. What I do is commonlyknown as "Saddle Stitching" and it too, is done by hand.        Some of my customers want me to personalizetheir order.    Personalized workcould be anything as simple as dying (not paint) your order, or simply stampingYOUR initials or as expensive as "hand tooling" their order,(floral, animal or even insect motif).

CUSTOMwork sometimes requires me making a "working" template along with adrawing of the tooling (which involves hours of work). I then, eitheremail this oak tag replica and the customer and then they send me theirapproval at which time I give the customer a quote on the price. with all thisbeing said, I then expect the customer to pay me a 50% NON-REFUNDABLE depositthrough my account with "Pay Pal”.     Everything is HandMade right here in Dania Beach Florida, U.S.A.…..

My initials are BB and my # is 8 (eight) so you will see mysignature on everything that I create:  My number is 8 & by extendingthe down stroke of the Y in "by", to dissect the 8 in half,I now have back-to-back "B's". IF U don’t see my signature, then it’snot an original.
