5 out of 5 starsWe all need to jot something down once in awhile right? Stop using the backs of coffee stained envelopes or post it notes with more dust stuck on the glue than there is behind your refrigerator. Get yourself one of these. It will keep your mini composition book(included) nice and neat and do it in style! Andrew is very easy to work with, willing to customize his existing designs and does a really classy job packing it. Gotta love the old school touch. Very pleased with my purchase.

4 out of 5 starsThis is nice, however the leather is quite stiff for a bag and would appear to have been stored in a dry environment; whilst I can apply conditioner to it, I would have given four stars if it didn't need about 2lb of dice to actually conform to their shape, rather than whatever positions it's been left in.
There's also a fairly unattractive horizontal crease along the whole of one panel, which doesn't exactly look great.
Oh, and the thread is black, not red as pictured. -

5 out of 5 starsI had a custom bag made by this gentleman. It surpassed all my expectations and more. The quality was top-notch. You could tell he puts a lot of thoughts love and care into what he does. Highly recommended.

Leatherwork
I started working on leather about 10 years ago and have been increasingly honing my skills over the past few years by making items for my family. Ipad cases, bracelets, cuffs, cigar cases, etc. I have a passion for the medium of leather. It's incredibly fun to work with and the character of the unique grain of leather is fantastic.
Over the past few years I've been focusing on cigar cases. I frequent the Party Source Cigar Tasting night at the Beer Sellar in Newport, KY. (literally across the river from downtown Cincinnati) I've been taking requests on those nights for different cases and work on them on my spare time at night and weekends. I have three kids and finding time can be difficult, but being a night owl helps.
I love being able to take requests for different designs in my leatherwork for people and seeing how they react. That reaction motivates me to create more and more, and make new things.

Payment
Payments for custom work, if custom item with options is listed, are due at the time of request and work will be rendered within the next 1-6 weeks after order unless otherwise specified in the listing. All items are made by hand and time to hand make an item depends on the item and the amount of current orders I have at the time. This is to assure that I am not left with a personalized piece that will be hard to sell if not purchased by the requester.
