steveb leatherworks: the blather

Well i have posted my 366th consecutive post. This blog is officially 1 year old today. I stopped tracking site  traffic some time ago, it was kind of distracting, sort of like a compulsion to keep looking in the rearview..lol..I have to wonder, is it worth it, does anyone care… If anyone has any suggestions, […]

Jon is one of my “special-needs” customers… being on the job and all, requires that his daily carry gear meet some specific specifications and really work as needed. Additionally, this stuff usually takes a beating – so it needs to be tough. Well, Jon’s BlackBerry case fits the bill: it fits his 2″ wide duty […]

Pupkin threw his annual July 4th party this year, as one could predict, it being an annual event an all. I captured some nice images of the local fireworks… and thought now would be a nice time to share and enjoy now that summer is nearly in the rearview. This summer flew by, holy shit.

Pocket Wallets are available in a few different types/styles of leather. About exotic skins….If you have a skin you want to use, […]

Back about 10 lifetimes ago, I worked at a bar call the Continental. This place was the epicenter of punk rock, cheap drinks and a good rowdy time in Buffalo, NY, a place i called home . My best friends at the time worked and/or partied there and it was 2 floors of nuttiness… Bud, […]

Not a tremendously complicated piece, Val’s cuff didnt take a particularly long time to make, and wasnt much of a technical challenge for me… but like every cusom made piece, it took a bit of thought, clarity on what my customer wanted and a bit of care…in design and in production. Val wanted a cuff […]
