I was first introduced to leatherwork as a child. My family had just bought a house in Phoenix and the previous owner left a very large box of leather tools. Come to find out my mother had worked in leather when she was growing up. Taught by her mother she thought it would be something my brothers and I may be interested in. I remember making my grandfather a wallet he was very proud of. In the late eighties, I did auto upholstery for a while. This knowledge along with the leather crafting hobby, and savings, eventually turned into Duane Ballard Custom Leather.
