Thank you very much for reply:) I will order it, thanks!

Especially Horween Shell Cordovan, which is conditioned a lot. I need strong and flexible glue for watch strap. The one I was using for other hides simply does not work. Would be grateful for any hints&links. Of course the less toxic the better:D

Howdy friends! I have a "nice" piece of leather - well it is just significant to me. However if I bend it - it cracks :/ Is it possible to condition it so it wont cracks? I know that there where cracks are there is no option, but there are still a lot of plain nice surface and I just want to prevent cracking there. May olive oil work? I have also heard about that conditioners based on glycerol and mineral oil dry leather - is it true? Thanks all;)

Have not found this topic so ... which threads do you prefer and why? twisted or plaited/braided? nylon or polyester?

Thank You for all responses !!

Im thinking about buying Bob Douglas awl, but on the main page/suppliers there is no contact to him. Or im serching in the wrong place. http://www.leatherworker.net/suppliers.htm I sew straps and use mostly 1mm threads. Which size I will need, or what should i tell Bob while ordering? Is it also possible to make - - - - - stitch with this awl? Or I will have to always do / / / / / / ? I suppose both "styles" are possible, and it depend only of the angle while making holes. How about the awl with round shape blade? Maybe thats the best way to - - - - - style stitch? Awl with roun needle attached - what do you think about sewing with 2 needles the piece of leather where holes for stitching are round? Best, Daniel
