I enjoy seeing it as much as being able to create. But what I enjoy more is teaching the craft.

It can be expensive and addictive getting into tooling leather.

Uncle built saddles for a living for decades. Father also did some leather work. For carving you want a good quality vegetable tanned leather. Busted my third cell phone recently. So I built a case based on a holster. LOVE IT!
