Maine Black Bear — Hand-Tooled Leather Medallion

A piece of Maine wilderness, carried in leather.

✨ Made to Order — Each bear is hand-tooled individually, so no two are exactly alike. That's the beauty of it.

This hand-tooled leather medallion features an original Maine black bear design, carved and dyed by my hand into vegetable-tanned leather. Rich amber and rust tones fill the bear's portrait against a deep brown border, with green foliage accents and a flat leather hanging strap. Every detail — from the relief carving to the hand stitching — is done by the artist's own hands.

This is not a mass-produced decoration. It is a handmade heirloom object made to be passed down.

Every Bear Has Its Own Personality

Each medallion is hand-tooled from scratch, so yours will be similar in design but unique in character — the carving lines, the dye depth, the stitching. Browse the photos to see how each one differs. Custom orders with your own wildlife subject may also be available — send a message to inquire! xo
