I first heard of Wood & Faulk when I spied a piece on Matt, the man behind Wood & Faulk, over on the sfgirlbybay Blog. You can read the piece HERE. It just so happens that Wood & Faulk is located here in Portland, actually just up the street from me.When I saw the Wood & Faulk Carpenter's Bags, I knew I had to get one for the Engineer. Matt was very helpful when I contacted him, reassuring me his bags were definitely made for the craftsman, for the heavy duty carrying of tools. So, I ordered one as a late birthday present.
It's a thing of beauty this bag. Made wonderfully and just the right thing for transporting all of the Engineer's special hand tools. There is one tiny problem, I wanted to keep it for myself.
It's a great feeling to buy a well crafted piece from a local artist. Wood & Faulk also has a cool blog to check out, with the tag line, "Documentation of experiments, style and craft." Go have a look see.

Oh it's beautiful I wouldn't blame you for wanting to keep it!
Very nice indeed! I just bet my Mr. could really use something like that and local too. I'm off to check out the links, Father's Day and B.day are just around the corner. Thanks.
Beautiful! My husband has a birthday coming up.... thanks for the inspiration!
I'm not surprised you want to keep it, it's beautiful!
It would make a great crochet and knitting bag, don't you think!! ;)

Oh i don't blame you for wanting to buy it and then keep it! hahaha it's too pretty to get all dirty with tools!
beautiful bag. There is something about fantastically well crafted utilitarian things that is so compelling. Have really enjoyed looking around the Wood and Faulk site. I know a long haired man who is just going to love the site. Nice one.
What incredible work! Wood & Faulk is going on my gift-idea list for my hubby! Thanks for the heads-up! And what was the Engineer's reaction--or has he received it yet?

Oh I love that bag. I could find so many cute and useful things to do with it.
That is just a beautiful piece of work. The Engineer shoule be chuffed. And, if not, well, then, it's all yours... ;)
