In a world flooded with imitation, durability and craftsmanship ultimately rises to the top.<br \/>\nI am a college educated manual draftsperson and industry trained in computer assisted drafting and design through employment in engineering offices.<\/p>\n<p>All sewing I do by hand using durable threads or leather lace. Dying of natural veg-tanned leather is also done in shop and finished by hand. I also work with pre-dyed cowhide and bison.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for visiting donovansleather.com. Don&#8217;t forget to look through my Product Photos tab.<\/p>\n<p>I make my home in the beautiful Comox Valley on Vancouver Island, BC, Canada.<\/p>\n<table width=\"100%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td
