Ken Cook began his journey as a craftsman in 1995, combining skill, creativity, and a love for Western-style craftsmanship. What started with building leather mirrors, hat racks, gun racks, footstools, barstools, and other home décor quickly grew into a full-fledged artisan business rooted in quality and authenticity.
Over the years, Ken participated in numerous shows and events that helped forge valuable connections. These relationships played a vital role in developing a thriving custom order side of the business, which now accounts for nearly 75% of his work. Each custom piece is thoughtfully crafted in Ken’s personal home workshop, allowing him to create items tailored specifically to each customer’s preferences and vision.
Ken’s work is characterized by the intricate hand-tooling that defines his signature style. Every piece reflects hours of careful labor and attention to detail, making each one a functional work of art. Whether it’s a handcrafted barstool or a unique gun rack, no two items are exactly alike—each is a reflection of the client’s individuality and Ken’s commitment to quality.
His dedication to preserving traditional leathercraft techniques while meeting modern needs sets his work apart. Ken believes that custom work isn’t just about function—it’s about telling a story, honoring heritage, and creating something that lasts a lifetime. His ability to blend craftsmanship with client collaboration is what makes his pieces not just useful, but meaningful.
