leatherworker Report post Posted November 9, 2007 ok. so i am making my dad some mocassins for christmas. i have some really nice cowhide. some soft rabbit fur for the lining. and i also got some belly leather to use as soles so they don't wear out to quickly. i got a really good deal on the belly. and i have quite a bit of it. other than mocs what can i use it for? it's super tough and i am use to using soft pliable leather. anyone have suggestions?? amy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Randy Cornelius Report post Posted November 11, 2007 You can use bellies for a lot of things. Knife sheeths and any other small items. I have a small cowboy boot shaped clicker die that I click out the boots, but my makers stamp in them, punch a hole and put a key ring in and give them out to customers. You can think of lots of uses. Use them to practice your swivel knife on. Randy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
