WILKINSON

Im out of the studio all week for some family vacation time to clear my mind. When I return it's time to prepare for Fall and release new Legacy Collection models. Also, @pastranastudio is beginning work on the studio space this week. Lots to be thankful for. (at Clint Wilkinson Studio)

The Model 6 case is all hand sewn using the box stitch method. I'm having to angle the awl perfectly before pushing it through the other side. From there I pass the needles through the hole I just created, pulling the thread tight. Step by step each piece comes together nicely. (at Clint Wilkinson Studio)

Model 6 assembly day. It's always tricky gluing this type of case together. (at Clint Wilkinson Studio)

One of the features on the new Model 6 is this Italian Amiet lock, it definitely makes the case look classy. (at Clint Wilkinson Studio)

Edge creasing on the Model 6 that's in progress. (at Clint Wilkinson Studio)

Question for the ladies, what product would you like me to make available next? Leave a comment and ill start designing the most popular item listed. (at Clint Wilkinson Studio)

Model 6 display is in production. It's been a struggle to make time for creating displays of my work but, I'm slowly getting there. (at Clint Wilkinson Studio)

Finishing up this bespoke men's French calf belt. Finely hand sewn at 9 stitches per inch. (at Clint Wilkinson Studio)

This is a Model 1 in the Legacy Collection that has been tailored to the clients needs. Authentic tan French box calf leather, brown caiman, and white stitching. Completely cut, sewn, and polished by hand in effort to preserve traditional craftsmanship. If you're interested in seeing my evolving Legacy Collection, click the link in my profile.

No matter how many thousands of times I've done it, pressing the @georgewbush presidential seal into leather never gets old. What an honor, thank you @gatorjohnson! (at Clint Wilkinson Studio)

Welcoming the rain last weekend. (at Clint Wilkinson Studio)

Preparing the studio for my Father's Day event tomorrow from 9am - 1pm. Excellent additions by the talented @mandycave have been hung. It's exciting to see the studio take shape. Remember tomorrow I will be selling the Texas Collection only, however I'm actively taking orders on my Legacy Collection. All are welcome and I look forward to meeting some of you.

After a great response, I'm now offering workshops teaching high end traditional leather working techniques. These are private one-on-one lessons like true apprenticeships used to be. Their aren't many people in the USA offering this type of workshop. Please visit the link in my profile for more information. (at Clint Wilkinson Studio)

So thankful for patient clients during this transition period of my life. After closing and moving out of my family's western shop of 60 years, then into my own studio trying to find a new path of work, y'all have been so gracious. This bag was dreamed up by @stallion.trike.rider almost 1 year ago and I'm finally finishing it today.

Welcoming all the ambient noise while I work. Thank you Lord for another day.
