Leather is the traditional gift for a third anniversary. I think this is fitting. In a young marriage you've only just begun to see the challenges, the ups and down. Good leather like this can take a beating and and keep on going.
Like a good partner - this tray will be one of the last things they see every night before bed, one of the first in the morning, and it will be with them for life.

SHIPPING TIMES -
Most items in my shop are available on a made to order basis. Each of these has its production time listed on its item page.
I do occasionally have items in stock and available for immediate purchase. Any of these items will ship in 1-3 days.
DELAYS-
For made to order items only,
I've been doing this for a while now but like all of us I make mistakes from time to time and there is unfortunately no way to erase in leather.
If a project is damaged midway though it will need to be restarted. If this should occur I will notify you about the updated shipping time.
SHIPPING FULFILLMENT -
All domestic (US) shipments are shipped by priority mail 1-3 day.
When your item is shipped you will receive and email with tracking information.
All items are shipped by default without signature confirmation and will be left at your doorstep. If you would like this or another additional service I will set that up for you. There will be an additional charge for these services.
INTERNATIONAL -
I am willing and able to ship to any country except Italy. Nothing against the Italians, they are just very protective of their leather trade and it is illegal import leather goods there.
Because shipping rates vary considerably from country to country my shipping prices for international orders are quite high. If you purchase an item directly you will receive a refund of the amount of shipping overages after I have calculated the shipping charge. If you contact me in advance of the purchase I can draw up an exact quote for you to avoid this.

A NOTE ON COLOR -
True colors are impossible to perfectly convey in an online store, particularly with a hand dyed, natural material like leather.
There is variation when items are dyed, there is variation when the item is lit for photographing, there is variation when the photos are edited. After the photo is uploaded every combination of web browser and computer monitor will display the colors a little differently. Even changing your screen's brightness will alter the perceived colors of items significantly.
I try my best to convey accurate color information but there are simply too many factors out of my control to guarantee that the color of the item you receive will be exactly the color you saw on your computer when purchasing.
A NOTE ON RANGE MARKINGS -
Each hide of leather will come with some imperfections. If you ever see a perfectly smooth hide it either came from a cow raised in a small padded room or the hide was artificially resurfaced to mask its imperfections and I do not believe in either of those two practices.
As it lives its life each cow will collect scars, bug bites, brands and all manner of other things. Any imperfection that effects the structural integrity of the leather is cut out but some of these markings may be present on the odd piece. When this occurs effort is always made to place these as unobtrusively as possible and very large scarred or branded areas are never used.
Frequently Asked Questions
Custom and personalized orders
Small adjustments to items such as altering the dimensions of a tray or adding personalization to stock items are alwasy possible. Just send me a message with what you have in mind and we can work out the details.
If you are looking to have a truely ground up custom item made for you I do accept these sorts of jobs but only on a specific set of terms.
I've never made anything right the first time. It just doesn't happen. Usually the first item is usable but is almost never up to my proper standards. The item doesnt just have to be made, it has to be designed, made, tested, redesigned, remade, and repeated as necessary.
This means that custom orders can take a very long time and that these custom items will be proportionally expensive.
Care instructions
I offer a service to help both instruct customers in the proper care unique to this kind of leather and to provide reminders when your leather should be due for a quick cleaning and oiling.
This takes the form of an email mailing list and a link to subscibe is available in the reciept of every item from my shop.
This list is never used for any marketing efforts, new product announcement, promotions, or any other such funny buiness. I've got a different list for that sort of thing
Wholesale availability
I offer some of my items on a wholesale basis. Please contact me for specific details.
