steveb leatherworks: the blather

Years ago I called this place home. This was a scary neighborhood and i remember feeling like I was living in a fort. Funny how things change and tides turn.

In the center of what used to be the “Polish” part of Buffalo, stands the Broadway Market. This area is now pretty dead from both commercial and demographic standpoints.  Even though it is a bit off the beaten track, it is worth a visit. I highly recommend visiting the Horseradish vendor found inside…

Had the chance to duck out and do some on bike camera testing with my friends on a beauty of a Fall week day.

all metal, no glass – all sweet, with a monster motor tucked inside

The Cragar SS mag rules!

last installment of a visit to this iconic NYC landmark.

Little dudes beefing it out with the big boys at the local ramp…it’s all good.  Tough for the parents to watch their little warriors grow some cojones, but good nonetheless.

Clean, classic, simple and available……. comes with a brass chain

summer sunday morning on the side of the road

Is any local fair complete without a display from the military, a Monster Truck and a ride that makes you barf?

Great color, reminds me of a guitar player i played with…his Les Paul was pretty damn close to this colorwise  and was the inspiration of this series of Fin wallets that have a sunburst guitar theme…available for sale… this wallet is ready to go and comes with a brass chain

Handy’s is one of those local places I always rail about. Handy’s is a 3rd generation breakfast lunch joint, it rocks and it happens to be in Burlington Vt.

what is it with wings? why do we love ’em so much?

All i will say about Big W’s is this>  it is the best I’ve had on the East Coast. I drive 1.5hrs to eat Big W’s brisket. It rules.

Another year older… so in celebration of his increasing decrepitude, Freddy & I took him for lunch at the Redding Road House and then for a smoke at one of our favored spots. it was a good day.

another great and useful piece with the most indestructible and unbendable of all money clips! it’s for sale, so come and get it… looking for some holiday gifts? Get to me soon….

remember when this was funny? I admit, it still cracks me up.

A wonderful local orchard, farm, road stand kind of spot

How cool, how well done is this car? Well, it’s damn well done and damn near perfect in my opinion. Props to the old dude who owns it.

i get requests for straight black wallets all the time. The white thread is the “poppy” concession to style…
