Fine Craftsmanship -Tim Sweek -Leather Crafter/Tooler


Tim Sweek grew up in the Pendleton area and has always had a passion for leather craft. He has spent time with local leathercrafters/saddle makers, Larry Smith and Randy Severe. They helped Tim perfect his skills in carving and tooling leather as he worked and built saddles.


Tim is a full time pilot of 747 jets flying internationally. His flying schedule permits him time to work in the Hamley leather shop doing custom belts, purses and wallets. Tim has made custom belts for PRCA competitors as well as local ranchers and businessmen.
