Handmade goods including both tooled and hair on hide leatherwork, beadwork, and pyrography. I learned the art of leatherwork from my mom and grandmother on our family ranch and have expanded to include both beadwork and pyrography into my set of artistic skills I use in these amazing western creations.

My name is Mayra Jones and I live in Texas. I can make anything leather related. Everything I make is 100% hand tooled and customized according to what the customer wants. Hence, I am capable of making original sketches for fully customized orders. My dream and goal is to be able to become a full time leatherworker. I started making leather products as a hobby the year before Covid hit and have tremendously expanded clientele over the past year. I have worked as a full time CPS investigator, full time Athletic coach, and now full time teacher. All back to back in the past three years. All those jobs and working with kids full filled my ego as a professional person. However, leatherwork brings true passion into my world. It has helped provide for my family out of the comfort of my home, while help focus on myself and family. I have always been an artist at heart. As a result took art in college. However, I never thought it would amount to much. Ironically, my leather work business took off on one of the toughest times in USA history. It’s safe to say that I truly see leather work as not only a trait but art.

Jay and Karlee Long of Vale Oregon. Jay started doing leather work back in high-school mainly making tack he could use to cowboy. He and Karlee married in 2012 and Karlee began to do beadwork in 2015. She had to start doing her own leather work not long after because Jay didn’t have the time. Now together they have built JL Custom Leather. They also work for Karlees dad on his ranch and run some of their own cows.

If it’s made of leather, Ty can do it! May’s Custom Boot and Leather has grown from a small desk with a few tools to a fully enclosed shop! Ty May has spent years perfecting his craft and has added custom made boots to his offerings. Looking for comfort and durability? Look no further than May’s Custom Boot and Leather. Ty also creates some beautiful leather products from wallets and holsters to chaps. Ty May has been exposed to the art of leathercraft his entire life. Learning from his father, master saddle maker Rusty May, he has come away with an incredible talent to take leather and turn it into artwork beyond compare. Western boots are Ty’s specialty. He can start a project from scratch or he can do repairs (if the item is worth repairing) from saddle and tack repairs to projects like wallets, cell phone holders, notebooks, scabbards, holsters, etc.

I’m a second generation leather worker and grew up in the middle of my parents’ saddle shop in Osage County, Oklahoma. Despite being around it my entire life, I did not pick it up until 2013. While offering belts, wallets, and other small leather goods, I also bring my artist background to the table with figure carved items, and a love of adding vibrant color to make a piece really shine.

We are Sandy and Freeman Crawford and we have been designing and creating handmade leather goods for nearly 50 years. What began as Sandy’s 4-H project has grown and evolved into our passion and business.
We have been blessed to send our work to nearly all 50 states and several foreign countries. Sandy spent many of her early years in the purebred Hereford cattle business with deep family roots in ranching. Whether a special award, gift or cutting-edge western fashion, you will find some sort of roots or story connected to western ranch life.
Our work is always evolving and varies from traditional tooling to cowhide to the latest colorful embossed leathers. We have a real love for repurposing old tack, old wood and anything else used on a ranch. Sandy has an obsession for turquoise and other gemstones and Freeman is happiest with either his welding helmet or covered with sawdust. Look for some new pieces on the horizon featuring a combination of all the above.
If you are looking for something custom, we are excited to work with you. Please visit the Custom section of this site for ideas and guidelines to create something just for you.
In addition, we are continually creating new, ready to purchase products available through our online store.
We welcome your call or email any time. The best part of our business is the people we have met and will meet and the friendships we have made along the way.

J.Forks Designs is a Southwest-inspired jewelry and graphic tee-shirt line based out of Bandera, Texas. Since inception in 1999, Jenny Forks cultivated a reputation for designing bold jewelry and accessories using high-quality semi-precious gemstones, handcrafted leather, sterling silver, and beadwork. Together with her husband Cody Ackel, who has been handcrafting leather for over 15 years, they created the never-before-seen signature look of handset stones into leather. This creative style has evolved into a defining characteristic of the J.Forks Designs line.
J.Forks Designs offers a variety of superior quality looks, from delicate and simple to large statement pieces. As a result, J.Forks Designs has released over 50,000 different styles. Today, J.Forks Designs is selling in over 500 stores, in six countries, and is still growing! Wanting to make it a bigger experience, J.Forks Designs added a full-scale graphic tee shirt line that embodies the “Dare to Be Bold” spirit in every design.
Over the past 20 years, Jenny has fostered a team of people to help execute the company’s mission and vision. Each piece is handcrafted in-house, and even with the production team, Jenny personally works on every single piece that leaves the studio.
Because J.Forks Designs is not a mass-produced jewelry line, many of the pendants, earrings, rings, and bracelets are one-of-a-kind. In order to provide the most interesting and unique pieces, Jenny spends countless hours sourcing the highest grade materials and works directly with the mines.
