Butscher's Leather

I've recently began the idea of starting my own business. Though I have worked for many places and been involved in a great array of industries, my dream is to work for myself and not for another. This is my dream to be in control of my own future. To be able to reap from what I sow.

I am working to get a business going, "Butscher's Leather". As for now it is a one man operation that is done between the hours of 10:00pm and 2:00am in my garage after I get home from my day job. I can't say that it is perfect, but I want to someday turn this hobby into self sustaining one if nothing more.

Some of my recent work has included.










 

This is most of the recent work that I have completed using 100% hand craftsmanship. I wish I had the convenience of having a sewing machine, or other modern leather working tools, but since this is just starting as a hobby I am using only simple hand tools and needles and thread.

I love this. And as long as I still love working leather I will continue this as a hobby. Maybe someday It will be come an up and running business but for now it is just for the joy or being able to create with my own two hands.
