I live in Seattle and was wandering through my old homeland of Ashtabula Ohio and happened upon Michael Defina's store. It is quite remarkable. In all my travels, it is quite notable. Carl Jones, a master leather maker was a featured artist and I was elated to find that he was still crafting his fine leather work into amazing usable works of art. Carl Jones is someone I would have given a good portion of my years to study with. I congratulate Michael on all his worthwhile and honest endeavors. With respect to Carl, we will always love you. You are the very utmost worthy and wonderful best of all leather makers in the world. Thank you Carl for being here.
