I mostly work in leather, but I'll use whatever material might be required to get the job done.  The work shown on the home page is just a small sample.  I make armor to order including historical, fantasy, post-apocalyptic, and even a few sets based on popular games including Skyrim and For Honor.  I also make smaller, individual pieces such as helmets, bracers, quivers, pouches, etc.
I make custom knife and sword sheaths and high quality belts that are made to last far longer than the mass-produced stuff you'll find in even the best stores.

I've recently begun working with foam, making one-of-a-kind LARP shields.

Much of what I make can be found for sale at Forged in Fantasy, a very cool, family-owned shop in Triangle Town Center mall in Raleigh, NC.  For custom orders, this is usually where I meet clients to take measurements and hammer out details.  It's a great store selling all sorts of knives, swords, anime stuff, film props and more.  Worth a trip just on its own.
