Item Special Note
How it Works
After the design is selected, the artist will tool a design into the harness pieces. Tooling is done by drawing a design onto wet leather and then by means of small tools, sculpted into the leather. The tooled pieces will then be shipped to the Seeing Eye?s harness maker to put it together. Please allow up to two months for completion.
