Tooled Leather Tray - Marksman's Cross Basketweave
A tray on the dresser can collect the varied contents of our pockets at the end of the day and protect wooden surfaces from the dings and nicks of coins and pocket knives. Placed in the entryway they provide a dependable home for your keys and wallet so that the next morning isn't spent wondering where they are. This item is sized 6 by 8 inches internally. This simple product got my business off the ground, in 2014, when I sat at makeshift workbench wondering what I could do with a small bit of leftover material from another project. This is what I came up with. Since that day I have made around 3000 and counting. Each by hand, through an ever evolving process. These humble trays continue to teach me more every day. They don't require any fancy tricks, just good fundamentals of the craft. Simple to learn, but hard to master. Words like square and straight sound simple on paper, but the real world does not turn out that way without great care and intention. Each of these items is made with that care and intention, so that each can be finer than the last.
