Al and Ann Stohlman
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Al and Ann Stohlman are two outstanding people in the world of leathercraft. They lived on a ranch in Canada and wrote many of the instruction books still used today to teach people to work with leather.
Al Stohlman (August 15, 1919 to March 6, 1998) began working with leather during World War Two in the Pacific. He and his friends made their own punching and carving tools from nails. These men were the beginning of the modern leathercraft hobby as it is known today.
