It was record breaking hot here this year and all my tomatoes split like crazy. The long thin ones on the right are called Teressa's Roma and even though the top inch or 2 looked rotten, they weren't.They are so solid that even though you cut the bad spots from the tops there is more taste and meat than any hybrid I've ever tasted.

Handcrafted Leather Leashes

I was asked by the owner of a Made in U.S.A. only, organic dog food shop to make some leashes and collars, etc.and this is what I came up with so far. Made with American vegetable tanned leather, the bottom braid is what they call a blood knot but the tricky part was the handle because to make the braid 2 pieces are pulled thru each other and it took me a bit to figure that out. I added copper rivets which may be overkill but I wanted no chance of it coming apart. My buddy suggested I condition them with beef fat to make them more dog friendly but I couldn't bring myself to do it. Instead they're treated with Lexol conditioner followed by Neatsfoot Oil and finally with a bees wax paste. They come with a Lifetime Guarantee if the dog doesn't eat it or it's used to tow your car, left in a puddle for a month or something abusive like that. I cut them from sides of leather myself so lengths available will vary depending on how far down the skin I am. These are around 5' but I'll set aside some longer ones with the next side I buy. If you'd like one they're $25 plus $5.00 shipping. Just specify black or brown and if you need a specific length. I hope to have hardware in antique brass soon as well. An interesting note about the black is that dyeing is notorious for rubbing off so I use an old saddle makers concoction called vinegroon made from mixing vinegar and rusty iron. After sitting a couple of weeks the piece is dipped in it and the tannins react to create this nice jet black. Pretty cool eh? Pretty long post too...oh well. If you'd like to see some of the other things I've done in leather click here.

Thanks for looking.
