Hilly Report post Posted July 29, 2009 What weight leather should I use for dog collars? I am going to stamp and tool on the collars. And Where is the best place to buy leather for this purpose. I use 8-9oz. veg tan, lined with 2-3oz. veg tan. I carve our phone number and the dog's name in their collars, in case they get lost. You could also tool designs into them. I don't think other types of leather tool very well. I use veg tan because the chemicals in other types of tanning processes may be harmful to my dogs. You can get veg tan (tooling) leather from many different sources including Tandy, Hide crafter and other places. A good place to start looking is if you go to the Leatherworker.net main page. There's links there to MANY suppliers. Hope this helps. Hilly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
