cleveland Report post Posted January 18, 2012 I just got my first order of Natural Carving leather from Wickett & Craig! I can't believe how great this stuff looks compaired to the Tandy Leather veg tan I had been getting locally. With my order Glen sent me a ring of samples but I do not know what the difference between the types of leather are. I tried to search the forum but I am searching for such general words that it was no help. So what's the difference? Besides color. Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cleveland Report post Posted January 18, 2012 LOL! If I would have just searched their site instead of this one. :-) Thanks a bunch! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gtwister09 Report post Posted January 19, 2012 Glad it helped. I didn't send it to make you feel bad. It was just informative. My son just got their samples for some projects he wants to do with English Bridle. I spent some time with him discussing the different aspects and feel so we had just been there.

cleveland Report post Posted January 19, 2012 Didn't feel bad at all, in fact just the opposite. It reinforced my opinion of this community. I paid the $100 to be a lifetime contributor after only a few days on the forum because of people like you. I am amazed at the level of fellowship and willingness to share knowledge amongst the leather worker community. I really do appreciate the info. Thanks again!
