COLD MOUNTAIN CRAFT

I am a naturalist, a writer, and a leather craftsman. I ​developed my craft during my several years spent dwelling in the high mountains surrounding Aspen, Colorado, where I served as the resident naturalist and "mayor" of the silver mining ghost town of Ashcroft. I spent countless days hiking and snow- shoeing the area, guiding and teaching visitors from around the world, with my field journal in hand. After many journals failed to hold up to the harsh days, I designed and created a leather cover to protect my thoughts and observations. Beyond a faint, winding uphill path, I escaped for quiet time on Cold Mountain. There, at a cabin perched at 10,000 feet, Cold Mountain Craft was slowly born... Handmade leather flasks, refillable journals, fly fishing wallets, leather book bags and more handmade goods from Colorado.
