He has studied with many old time makers and made just about everything out of leather possible from watch bands to saddles.

He has made sheaths for all kinds and makes of knives, including originals and some of the best of the modern makers. His has been making knives and sheaths for the custom market since 1973. His presentation knives, hawks, and sheaths are based on the styles of the American frontier incorporating carving, beadwork, rawhide, braintan, and other period correct materials. Other period knives such as Scottish Dirks and medieval daggers are also part of his repertoire. His life long love and study of the American Frontier era and the history of leather work continues to this day.
