I immediately notice the quality and craftsmanship, it way beyond my expectations.
You can instantly see the attention to detail and care it was crafted with.
The detail in all the design elements is very evident.
I could not be more pleased!
Many Thanks for my Gorgeous Drawing Case.

Un producto de primera calidad.
Several of us went in together to get this for my husband who wanted a durable and stylish drawing tube to transport engineering drawings to and from work, sometimes on a motorcycle. Beautiful craftsmanship!

Product arrived on time. Present for Father’s Day. Husband was thrilled. Our house plans for our new home fit perfectly. Tube has a place of honor in the living room because it is so beautiful!
YES ~ my product is beautiful. YES ~ the craftsmanship is impeccable. YES ~ the leather of course is amazing! But what you don't know until you start interacting with Walnut, is that these folks put heart & soul into their products. For me, this is the type of places I actually want to spend my hard earned money. I had to wait a couple of years before I could afford making my purchase but it was totally worth it. I LOVE IT!!
Well constructed, sophisticated, to0 notch. Bruce MILLER
I had my eye on buying one of these but had to wait a couple of weeks until I had enough pennies. Saving up for something gives you more of an appreciation for the item you are buying.
I opted for the dark brown version which is so much more than a dark brown, it is such a beautiful rich redish mahogany classic colour which really pops in the english sunshine.
It is such a complete masterpiece, all handmade and stitched by hand and has such a lovely smell to it.
I cut a piece of canvas for the inside as a liner as I wanted to give it a tad bit more ridgidity It is no way a flaw, just personal preference.
It came well wrapped up in paper within a box.
If you are looking for an exclusive item don't hesitate this is the item for you.
Absolutely fantastic.

Gorgeous piece of art that’s functional. So happy to get rid of the ugly plastic drawing tube I was lugging around to meetings.
When my item was lost in the mail, Geoff and Valerie responded promptly and the replacement came quickly. You’ve got a customer for life.

Beautiful product
I love the workmanship involved in making this really nice leather map/plan case. That said, I am an avid fly fisherman who has been looking for a suitable leather case for my vintage bamboo fly rods - I'm old school. This case was nearly perfect except it was too flexible to provide the necessary protection for my valuable rods. So, I began searching for a protective insert that would save the day. I found that a piece of 3" thin wall PVC was almost, but not quite perfect. I modified the pipe so it would fit in the case (the outside diameter of the pipe was about 1/16" too large) so now I have the perfect traditional leather case to protect my favorite fly rods when traveling. I think other fly fishermen would like this case as well so the folks making it might want to increase the inside diameter just ever so slightly so a piece of 3" thin wall PVC could be easily slipped inside when extra protection of the contents is needed, whether the contents are plans, maps or fly rods. Its a great, well made and very attractive case that I am proud to show off to my fishing buddies. TLW
We purchased the blueprint tube as a gift for our home builder. He was amazed, surprised and very appreciative. Geoff and Valerie certainly make nice stuff!
Excellent quality. Beautiful design every time I’m riding I get compliments
Beautiful. Really has a lot of uses.
Great seller, great experience, and super great case!
Thank you :)

Full of anticipation I was opening the box in which the tube was shipped. It was well wrapped and one could immediately see that Walnut Studiolo took a lot of care not only in manufacturing the product itself but also something trivial as the shipping of it. The tube is awesome!!! I have already used it for travels to a conference. I received nice comments and it definitely stood out from the crowd. Thanks again!

Delivered on what was promised
This blueprint case is gorgeous!!! It has amazing detail & truly is a quality piece. I purchased this for my husband for Christmas... but I can't wait to give it to him so I may use it for our anniversary next week instead
Excellent quality, great service!
Absolutely beautiful and extremely well-crafted. Every time I use it to carry plans to a meeting or presentation, I get several compliments on its beauty. It's solid leather, so it does have a little flex to it. But that isn't enough to not give this work of art 5-stars. It is worth every penny.
