Moosehead Journey: Ken Diamond’s Leatherwork

By Ken Hunt

If leatherwork is a dying art, someone forgot to tell Ken Diamond. In this episode of the Moosehead Journey we visit Ken in his Vancouver studio where he hand makes leather moccasins, wallets and belts. His work is classic, simple and timeless. His craft is the very definition of made well.
