After 15+ years working in chaotic and hectic television news, in 2016 I set out to finally work for myself. I have always loved working with my hands and enjoyed woodworking and furniture making as a hobby. The hobby turned into a passion, and that passion eventually turned into JHM Wood and Leather Crafts. Along the way I discovered a love for leather work. I then combined the two into one business. The principles of each discipline are the same, requiring an attention to fine details. Honing each craft is a continuous artform.
I love to do things the way the old craftsmen did - hand tools only. Each leather item is hand cut, hand stitched, and hand finished to order. Each wooden item is done with traditional hand tools from hand saws to hand planes. My motto is quality over quantity. You will not see a ton of mass produced items in my shop, but you will see meticulous, 100% handmade items just for you. I am a one woman shop and everything comes directly from me. I hope you love every handmade piece I make as much as I enjoy making them for you.
