Who I am
My name is Dave Hauser and I am the owner and lead Leathersmith at Dragonthorn Leatherworks. The shop is located in Greensboro, NC and is not open to the public as a retail location would be. This is due to the fact that all of my work is custom and I work on specific orders placed by my customers.
What I Do
Simply put, I do custom leather work. Custom leatherwork is a bit different. It’s not ground out by a bunch of people getting paid low wages in a factory, nor is it something that you can click on and add to your shopping cart. It’s, in a word, special. Custom leatherwork is an art. Imagine taking an idea, raw leather hide, thread and creating something that no one else has. Custom leatherwork is very personal. Why?, well, it was dreamed up by you and made by me for you. No one else has anything exactly like it. Even if I make two pieces of the same thing, its all different. Each hide of leather is different as is each location on the hide itself. The leather I use has, in most cases, what we in the business call “Range marks”; locations on the hide where the cow has rubbed up against something, snagged itself on barbed wire or done something that ends up giving the leather character.
