Craftsmanship

Tailored Frame, Built to Last

The Santa Fe Wood Exposed Arm Chair is a striking blend of rugged artistry and refined craftsmanship, rooted in Western tradition. Each frame is handcrafted in Texas from solid alder wood, selected for its strength, stability, and rich character. The fully exposed wood frame features graceful curves and organic shaping that celebrate the natural beauty of the material, while adding structural durability and visual warmth.

An arched top rail gives the high back a regal silhouette, balancing classic form with bold Western attitude. The gently curved arms and cabriole-style legs are carved and sanded by hand, giving the frame its signature flow and character. Hand-applied nailhead trim outlines the seat and back for a polished, tailored finish.

Offered in both standard and custom sizing, the Santa Fe is designed for versatility—whether as a dining head chair, accent piece, or statement seat. Its fully customizable upholstery allows you to choose from a wide array of leathers and hair-on-hides, creating a one-of-a-kind piece that reflects your personal style.

Design & Craftsmanship Highlights:

  • Handcrafted in Texas using solid alder wood for strength and heirloom quality.
  • Distinctive exposed wood frame with flowing curves and rustic elegance.
  • Arched top backrest enhances the chair’s stately, Western-inspired profile.
  • Sculpted arms and cabriole-style legs shaped and smoothed by hand.
  • Hand-set nailhead trim for a tailored, detailed edge.
  • Available in custom sizing for dining, living, or entryway use.
  • Choose from a curated selection of premium leathers and hides to create your own look.

Whether styled around a grand dining table or as a bold standalone accent, the Santa Fe Chair commands attention with every hand-carved detail.

Embossed Gator Leather in Warm Caramel Brown

This warm caramel-toned leather features a striking embossed alligator pattern, adding bold dimension and a touch of the exotic to any piece. The waxed finish breaks over time to reveal golden undertones, creating natural contrast and movement with use. Perfect for Western-inspired or rustic-luxe upholstery, it brings both texture and a rich patina to headboards, ottomans, or trim details.

Authentic Axis Hair on Hide

Axis is a genuine hair-on-hide chosen for its natural markings, rich texture, and luxurious feel. Each hide is carefully tanned to retain its organic beauty and preserve its unique patterning. Whether used in full panels or as an accent, this hide brings character, contrast, and Western elegance to any handcrafted piece.

Why Don't Product Colors Match What I See on my Screen?

We do our best to portray all of our products as accurately as possible, but the colors of our custom leathers and upholstery may differ slightly in person from how they appear online. This is due to disparities in display devices. Colors typically appear brighter or more intense when viewed on a screen, and images can also vary from screen to screen based on the brightness settings and color calibration of your device. We do our best to ensure that all of our product photos are color calibrated and as accurate as possible. If you are concerned about the color(s) of a particular piece, please give us a call at (817) 490-0082. We are happy to answer all of your questions and will ensure that you are happy with your purchase.

NOTICE: Variations in grain, texture, and color distinguish 100% top-grain cowhide leather. Expected healed scars and markings only adds to the skins' inherent beauty. These differences are characteristic of genuine 100% top grain cowhide leather and should not be perceived as flaws.
