  1. I’m actually sold out on the Vissage Yes square feet, it’s stamped on the back when buying hides. Hides are 17-20+ feet usually
  2. Our pup had about a month of not eating well and visits to the vet didn't reveal anything...we tried the chicken broth thing and she still got sick. We then, just because we were desperate went to lean pork and pork broth and she began eating that...but she has kidney issues so we had a major struggle finding a kidney diet without the "standard proteins" (beef, lamb, chicken)...finally found one that's made from alligator and she'd doing ok but still sometimes needs come convincing to eat. Prior to that first episode she would eat anything without thinking twice. It's crazy what we do for our furry kids.
  3. Hey Folks, As you know besides just making and selling stuff, I run into lots of deals that I can pass on. Here are a few Horween leathers. Buyer pays shipping from Ruby SC. Thanks For looking! I have a few hides of Horween Latigo I picked up in tan and natural and a bit of heather grey 3.5oz-4oz. $6 per foot: I also have some Horween Road Masterin Walnut 5oz-5.5oz but honestly feels heavier: Also still have the Black CXL: And last but not least Horween Visage Grey Latigo on a natural back. BECAUSE I'M TIRED OF LOOKING AT IT: $2 PER FOOT on the Visage latigo only.
  4. Thanks! Me too! yeah SB Foot’s rough and tough and hillbilly do that.
  5. Thanks! I had the dies made up in 2019 but finally nailed down what I wanted to do and pricing.
  6. After many months of working/thinking on exactly what I wanted to do with these bags, I've finally landed on what will be our stock design (obviously we can make modifications if you'd like.) It features an inside pocket large enough for a 13" MacBook, Pen Pockets and phone pocket, a front pocket big enough for most tablets, buckle closures and grab handle. I've got them made up in Briar Oil Slick, Black Canyan (a Teacore AKA: Prairie), Black Cherry Excalibur, Concrete Hardtimes (R&T) and Sienna Hillbilly, all from SB Foot. I also did a sample in another leather from Seidel Tannery (last pictrue).
  7. Exactly it's all used...one argument that I hear from well-meaning people in favor of using leather is that "it will just go into a landfill" and that's nonsense...even if, magically, one day leather is no longer a "thing"...people will figure out uses for it just like everything else.
  8. I've seen it brought up from time to time and even checked out a site for one company that was selling small pieces. The pricing was on par with Shell Cordovan ($100 for about 1 square foot)...it was waaay too much to take a chance on. I was interested because it seems to be more of a "grown material" and not like a lot of the other "vegan leathers" out there that are basically a fiber with a plasticy binder. I've said it before but pineapple, cactus and some of the others aren't really all that different from the 100-year-old technique that LV uses to make their coated Canvas. The makers play them up as something new and interesting but in practice they're more like coated cloth or paper.
  9. Yes they will leave marks. So when we finish products occasionally we have a bit of edge that hangs over because of leather stretching during splitting. The Wiss are great (and we do use them frequently) but will mark on one side of the leather, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Here's a piece I folded and cut you can see the "bottom" part of the fold gets teeth marks. For us when it's precision and not too heavy. We use any of the Fiskar's Razoredge series. They're $15-$20 and we do have to replace occasionally. I'm going to look at the KAI too.
  10. Down to about 30 Hides of the Black CXL
  11. Still have a little over 100 feet of both these leathers
  12. Out of Unicorn but still have Spruce and Tumeric Kudu
  13. Still have 2-3 sides of Tan Utica and Plenty of the Espresso DHF. Lowing the price of the DHF to $2.50 per foot
  14. Just Bumping this thread because it's been a while. I still have Cognac and Blush, Grey and Blush, and Olive and Blush
