Members Grey Drakkon Posted March 25, 2015 Members Report Posted March 25, 2015 A question: Did you use rawhide because you wanted something stiff for the crocodile skin to be attached to, or is there a different reason? Mostly I want to know if I should hunt down rawhide because it's an essential part of sandal making. Quote "Everyone with telekinesis, raise my hand!" -Repairman Jack
Reegesc Posted March 25, 2015 Author Report Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) @ Grey -- The rawhide was just handy. I liked that it was relatively thin but tough as nails. Been thinking of making a pair out of rawhide only. I bought scraps from Springfield http://springfieldleather.com/33907/Pieces%2CHorse%2CVegTan%2C5lbs/ Edited March 25, 2015 by cseeger Quote
Reegesc Posted March 25, 2015 Author Report Posted March 25, 2015 Just to be clear, the top layer is embossed cowhide, not genuine alligator. Pretty sure I got that from Springfield to -- their embossed leather bargain bundle. Quote
