[Ponte Alto] Fwd: Leather shop closing

[Katharine Devereaux]

FYI - from Stierbach's list. This shop is in Great Falls, VA and only takes cash or checks - no plastic, so be prepared.

Have fun!

Could you post this on whatever leatherworking/A&S lists etc that


might be interested?



My good Gentles,



   I recently needed some tooling leather for a mundane task that I

was working on and did not wish to wait, or order a larger quantity

from Tandy or some other such supplier. After an internet search I

stumbled upon Wayne and Barbara Groves at Tricks of the Trade in Great

Valls, VA. They are a full-service leather goods and cobbler, with a

complete shop on the premises. After talking shop with Wayne and

purchasing some tooling leather he had on hand, he told me that they

would be closing their retail shop and moving to a home-based business

model. What does this mean for us? His entire professional leather

shop and cobblery is for up for grabs! Every type of leather tool

you've ever heard of (or not heard of) is available at

going-out-of-business rates. Give them a call at 703 759 4565 or go

visit them at 752 Walker Road Suite B, Great Falls, VA 22066 or at

groove1way at aol.com.



Good luck and good health,

Karl Frank
