We start with the finest vegetable tanned leather from US tanneries. The artist selects each piece for it's texture and grain, and slowly begins the process of designing and hand-tooling a pattern to fit your case. In the larger photo above right is a case for a Nikon D300 that has been hand-tooled in an oak-leaf pattern by David Acton of Estes Park. The black tooled holster set in the smaller photo is for a customer's Canon 5D Mark II. In addition to the Newspaper Rock medallion (see limited editions), this handsome set included the tooled case, lid, 2" field belt, two accessory pouches and the filter wallet. Click either photo to enlarge. Dave has been working leather for over 60 years. He apprenticed just after the War (II) with some of the industry greats, and has been working the trade ever since. When you own one of Dave's works, you carry on a tradition that has portrayed the Great American West for hundreds of years. These make great gifts and wonderful "thank you's" for photographers in your life. If you're interested in owning one of these works of art, please either place your order below, or feel free to contact us at 970 577-0892 or email skytoptrading@aol.com. |
