Amazing forgotten Leathercraft


It has been more than a year ago when we decided to create Blue Crow Leather Works. I thought that we would stick with the western gun holsters, as they are so functional and so beautiful.  I had not realized how versatile leather actually is.  It really is an amazing medium.  Not only is the material created by nature, but it is malleable, carve-able, stitch-able and will last almost a life time if taken care of properly.  In a society that has veered off course of craftsmanship for the sake of saving a buck, we have lost the knowledge of how to make our own things and what it takes for something to be made. For the past several years, my family and I have spent time to relearn basic skills that have been forgotten because we are products of a consumer nation that relies on companies to provide the basics.
