About

Allan Butler

Allan Butler has enjoyed working with his hands his whole life. He was a career union carpenter, but was always looking for new challenges. He picked up many skills, excelling in many areas; plumbing, welding, electrical, automotive maintenance, and general home repair, because he wanted to be able to "fix it". Always looking for new areas to explore, he learned leather crafting from a saddle maker friend. He has made overnight bags, cell phone cases, gun holsters, belts, and custom items for friends, friends of friends, and co-workers. By chance he met a skilled knife maker that wanted to learn leather crafting. They traded "secrets" and both of them gained a new area of expertise, as well as becoming great friends. Knife cases were a natural addition to Allan's bag of tricks. He also creates yard art, and is able to figure out how to bring to life ideas his wife and friends bring him. The 4B brand is for the 4 members of the Butler family. 

 

He always enjoys a challenge, and will happily create any custom item for you.
