My leather writing folios offer a great place to sketch out your ideas, but odds are, not all of them will be winners.

Here is a place to store those not so great pages.

Measuring 12 inches high, this product is constructed from eight tapered panels of leather, each with their edges beautifully polished and then riveted together with fully finished internal strapping.

The man who has everything can often be found to have a remarkably pedestrian trash can. You could fix that.

This does have open slots in the sides and does not do a good job of holding small particles such as the content of a dust pan.

The leather is not suited to prolonged contact with moisture and the bin should not be used for any food waste.

It would be best suited to a formal office, studio, or gallery space where such items are unwelcome to begin with.

My products cannot be made from factory-dyed material because I need to soak the leather in water to sculpt and engrave it. Soaking leather in water ruins the dye, so I must dye it later on.

Hand dyed leather cannot be 100% consistent. Each hide and each area of each hide has a slightly different texture and density. Consequently, any given section of leather will take to the dye application slightly differently to any other.

Even more importantly, different screens display the same image slightly differently. This means try as I might, colors are tricky to communicate. Please look at a variety of items in my shop and ensure your screens brightness is turned up comfortably in a well lit room.
Leather is a natural material, the hide of a cow that lived a life in a field.

A range marking describes a scratch, a scar, a stretch mark, or otherwise acquired during the life of that animal.

To respect the value of that life, to reduce waste, and keep the prices of these products reasonable I use as much material as I can from each hide.

While a mark will never be allowed to impact the function or structural integrity of a piece, I do not discard every scar that comes across my cutting table.

I think such markings add character to a piece and honestly show the providence of the material. Some disagree.

Flawless leather may be requested but not guaranteed at no additional cost. Flawless leather may be guaranteed for 200% cost.
Each hide produced at a tannery is graded before sale. I purchase the best leather that I can but that grade is based on a moving curve.

An "A" grade hide is not a totally flawless hide, it is a hide in the top 20% of the hides in that batch of leather. If that batch is particularly bad a hide that might have been a B in the last batch will be an A in this one.

Moreover, a grade does not compare leathers from one tannery to another, only within the same tannery and batch.

The most important detail is the tannery itself. I chose Hermann Oak Leather in Springfield, Missouri USA, the longest running tannery in the states with an unmatched product that stands the test of time.
