This is half a cow of new 4mm leather that was delivered yesterday for some projects coming up. I have a heavy duty phone case to fit an IPhone 8 Plus ( in a life case) , another comb raiser for a Sharps .45-70 (+ 1”), and a cordless drill holster to make. All good holiday fun
There's still a few of Wile. E Coyote's ideas that I haven't tried yet.
That's a pretty good price. Where did it come from?
I've only ever bought leather from the one shop http://www.adelaideleather.com.au It was on the market last time I visited about a year ago. Hopefully the next owners migh have a sharper pencil.
Gun control requires concentration and a steady hand
Yeah, it is. Half of a full hide, cut along the back-line, is a "side of leather". Anything else, i.e. shoulder, is a selected section. Like butchering a beast, there are many different "cuts" available. Talking saddle-making and upholstery trade terms here, not "craft".
