Discover Bison Ridge Leather Company

It  was an experience in the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Preserve in  southwestern Oklahoma that gave Bison Ridge Leather Company its name.  When I moved to Oklahoma over twenty-five years ago, I was camping in  the boulder-strewn Wichita Mountains, home to free-ranging herds of elk,  longhorn cattle, and bison.  After banking my fire for the night and  climbing into my sleeping bag, I fell asleep under a cloudless, full  moon sky.  Just before dawn I woke up.  The moon was still shining and  the ground was covered in a thin layer of frost.  It was silent, except  for the sound of low rumbling and an occasional explosive snort.  I  rolled over and saw a small herd of bison moving almost silently through  my campsite.  I was struck by their beauty and grace…their sense of  calm confidence and power. To me, they symbolized what the American West had been and still  was…strong, beautiful, and enduring.  And though I live in Birmingham  now, I’ve brought that Western aesthetic with me and continue to develop  my art and my craft as a master leather worker using primarily bison leather.

About Bison Ridge Leather Company

A Passion For Excellence

I've heard it said that the things we surround ourselves with should  look and feel beautiful.  As an artist, I agree with that.  I  also believe they should endure.  I’ve worked in various media…wood,  photography, digital art…and they were all rewarding in their own way.   But it was when I discovered leather work that I realized I had found the  medium that really united all of my passions as a person and artist. Leather goods lend themselves to practical use, but they also look and feel  beautiful.  And bison leather captures the romance of the old west, but is equally at  home in the boardroom as on the ranch. 

A Timeless Tradition

 Leather connects me to my love  of the outdoors and the cowboy way of life, and gives me the privilege  and pleasure of bringing that aesthetic to everyone I create a custom  work of art for.  Each book, or portfolio, knife sheath, or set of spur  straps is created to last a lifetime.  Each one is designed to capture  the beauty of the leather using traditional western designs and modern  motifs.
