Bullit Balm has been the formula Bullit from the Nowhere Homesteady Youtube Channel has been making to condition and weather protect his hand made leather items for more than 10 years. For the first time, we are making our favorite leather conditioner available for sale. This special formulation is also what Bullit uses to tame his beard and repel insects on his favorite outings in the woods. It is made from a special blend of 100% natural bees wax and tallow from the Nowhere Homesteady sheep. This variation is our cedarwood peppermint version which is sure to invigorate the senses and keep those pesky insects away. It is a bright, earthy scent that is sure to wake up your senses and help you feel your best. At least Bullit thinks so. For years, Bullit has been complimented on the way his leatherwork smells and this is the big secret for what has made his custom works of art both durable and pleasing to all the senses. Bullit Balm also works as an all natural coating for protecting carbon steels like a fixing wax as they used to make in the old days to prevent corrosion and rust. There are so many uses from weather protection to beard management, lip balm and probably even lubrication of squeaky doors if you want them to smell like a man when they open for you. Ok, that last one may be a stretch but who knows. Pick some up and see what you can do with it. Then come back for some more and give it to your friends or other men in your life.

This bench proudly displays a beautiful hand tooled antique brown leather Colonial design accented with antiqued nailheads. The richly finished wood frame has a rustic Spanish style. Be sure to check out other hand tooled furniture items and home accessories that are part of this collection. Hand tooling of leather is an ancient art performed by artisans who painstakingly chisel and carve the leather by hand. Each leather hide is selected for quality and the wood is seasoned and ages gracefully. This time honored tradition inspired these hand tooled western leather chairs with a distinctive Spanish flair.
