Custom work

If you can wear it, I can build it. Your dog too.

Armor, harnesses, costume pieces, sheaths, straps, cases for gear that doesn't come in standard sizes — custom work is where this bench earns its keep. Tooled knotwork, dragon scale, custom engraving. Tell me what you're after, and we'll work out leather, hardware, and fit together.

The bench

Slow work, on purpose


i.

Full-grain only

The top cut of the hide, scars and all. It doesn't peel, it doesn't crack — it just gets better the harder you use it.

ii.

Saddle-stitched

Two needles, one waxed thread, no machine. If a stitch ever breaks, the seam holds. That's the whole point.

iii.

Made to be repaired

Anything I make, I can fix. Hardware, stitching, edges — send it back and it goes back on the bench.
