Artisan Bio

I am a Kentuckian and have been a Black powder enthusiast for over 40 years. When I first got started in Black powder shooting I had little money and the money I had was Generally used for my family. I always admired the fine hand made items I would see at friendship during the National shoots. I knew then that if I was to have fine quality items for my black powder shooting I was going to have to make them myself After many trial and error items I began to get pretty good at making possible bags. I was my greatest critic I just kept telling my self you can do better and I did. My goal is to provide the finest hand made items I can for a reasonable price. And to make it were it will last a life time. I like to use all types of leather but Wild leather is the leather I most like to work with. I enjoy seeing people using my items most of all.
