Lone Wolf Leatherworking

A beautifully photographed, project-driven introduction to leatherworking from Michael Gartner, the Swedish craftsman behind the Lone Wolf Leather brand. Gartner grew up as the son of one of Sweden’s leading shoemakers, and that background shows in his attention to quality materials and clean technique.

Why Start Here

Where other leatherworking books emphasize theory, Lone Wolf Leatherworking is built around 20 projects that take you from simple to complex. You start with braids and key rings, then progress through belts, card holders, wallets, phone cases, and leather totes. Each project introduces new skills in context, so you learn by making things you actually want to own and use.

What to Expect

A hardcover book at 128 pages with high-quality photography throughout. The projects are designed to be achievable with a basic tool set, and Gartner provides a clear list of what you need before you begin.
