-TOOLS-
Dene Williams Strander: I have been Professionally handcrafting Kangaroo and Cowhide leather Bullwhips and braided leather goods for over 4 years now. I have used a variety of tools and methods to cut and pare lace, and I have to say that the Dene Williams strander is by far one of the best leather stranders that I have come across in the market today. It works great and is well worth the money. You can easily adjust the width and taper while cutting effortlessly around the hides with no problems. A definite must-have for the amateur and professional whip-maker.
Dene Williams Hand Splitter: You couldn't ask for a better tool than the Dene Williams hand Splitter. I am amazed at how easy, mobile, time-saving, and accurate this Dene Williams Hand Splitter is, even changing the blade couldn't be easier. I can appreciate the craftsmanship that has gone into making this tool: its solid, lightweight construction fits comfortably into the palm of your hand for quick and easy use and is well worth the money!
