Jeff “Po Boy” Luke - Contemporary Leather and Accoutrements

I have a passion for our American history, muzzleloading, and the craftsmanship that accompanied them centuries ago. I specialize in 18th century style handmade leather hunting and shooting bags, pouches, and other accoutrements, constructed in traditional ways and intended to last to last a lifetime. I believe strongly in passing along the craftsmanship aspect of our American heritage for the generations to come.

Period Game Demonstrations

In addition to our unique line of historic games we provide a great deal of
free entertainment to your visitors. We use a large marquee tent as "portable gaming hall" where we set up several tables and benches and invite the public and participants to sit down to learn a period game for free in a coffeehouse-like atmosphere.

Educational Play
As we play, we try to teach our visitors a little about of the history of games. For those who are too timid to play, or hesitant to ask questions, our tent includes signage which provides additional historical information about our wares, and the overall history of games and gambling in Europe and early America.

Our main website is www.historicgames.com.

Master Horner

When I make these items, I keep in mind they are more than just items of purpose. They will become heirlooms and more, outlasting us all. They will be a testament to the heart and soul of the maker and the craftsmen of old. Awards and events may come and go, but they will never match the warmth and satisfaction gained from the friends I have made through this craft and the Guild. Years from now, when I am gone and my ashes have returned to Mother Earth, it is my hope someone will pick up an item I have made, show it to their son, daughter, or friend, and say, "Hey that's a DeWald piece." It is the preservation of a dying art, kept alive through caring hands. What a great legacy that will be to leave behind for my daughter.
