About the shop

Spur W Leatherworks is a one man leather shop in the Arkansas Ozarks, run by Christopher Williams.

By day, Chris works at the College of the Ozarks. The leather shop is his own work, done at his own bench: belts, wallets, checkbook covers, money clips, knife sheaths, and dog collars, each one cut, carved, stitched, and finished by hand.

The mark on every piece is the bison: mountains, a rising sun, and the Spur W name. It stands for the way the work gets done here. Slow where it matters, solid all the way through, and made to be used for years, not seasons.

Most pieces are custom orders for one person, often with their initials, their design, or their dog's name worked into the leather. If you have an idea, the shop would rather hear it than sell you something off a rack.
