How It's Made

Leather Basketballs, Flood Gates, Wood Panel Canvases, Shoelaces

Rubber bladders are wrapped with reinforcing material before carefully cut leather panels are fitted, stitched and finished into basketballs. Heavy steel sections are fabricated into flood gates; cotton canvas is stretched, secured and prepared on rigid wood panels for artists; and bundles of thread are braided, cut and tipped to produce shoelaces.
