The Art of Leather Witchery
I come from a long line of ancestors who used sharp tools. My great grandmother was a carpenter in Jim Crow Sanford Florida. My mother said my Grandma Charlotte could build anything. My grandfather was the first Black dentist in British Honduras (Belize) in the 1920s and created beautiful replacement teeth and his tools included small scissors for cutting stitches. My father spoke to me as a child about how clean and sharp and sanitary my grandfather kept his tools. So it's not surprising that I've been fascinated by cutting instruments for as long as I can remember.
