What kind of leather should i use? I tried the tutorial today, made me wooden template affixed to desk, soaked the leather for two hours, but it almost wouldnt stretch, I found no way to mold it over the template. I was fighting it for an hour, resoaked it with water twice and I had to give up in the end, it was not possible to stretch it around the corners. I actually pulled out the tacks when trying to get it into shape. Since so many people are using this guide succesfully, I presume i did something wrong, but only thing I can think of is the leather itself.
I used veg-tan leather about 2mm thick, quite dense. Should I use something else instead?
Somebody please help me, I am lost
