Cal Tanner is a maker of hunting pouches, haversacks, powder horns and other items who is well known for his exceptional leather craftsmanship and quality. He has won numerous awards for his work, which, Tanner notes, he approaches with the mindset of a professionally-trained eastern craftsman working with locally available materials after moving to the Ohio frontier at the end of the 18th century.
