Up North Leather Craft LLC

From whole hides, I cut down the leather into pieces for 5 different styles of purses, 4 styles of wallets, 3 sizes of journals, pocket knife sheaths, 4 weights of dog leashes, guitar straps, toiletry bags, and many smaller items such as moose and canoe ornaments, jewelry, lanyards, and key fobs.
I then pencil my designs on the leather, carve it into the leather with a swivel knife and then using approximately 100 different stamps, I bring my designs to life.
The next step is to paint my designs with leather acrylic paints, apply a finish to highlight the fine cuts and details, then finish it by sealing the leather to make it weather resistant. I also use many colors of dyes on the pieces of leather that I do not tool. Using dyes, I can make wood grain and camouflage designs on the leather.
My final step is to hand sew the items using waxed polyester threads of many colors. I do not own a sewing machine so all of my items are hand sewn.
My items are both stain and weather resistant, bright and colorful and are constructed to last for many years and generations of use.
