Hi all,
I have been making salmon leather (russia leather style) for a few years now as well as some conditioner and wax all based off birch tar. They have become pretty popular in the area and I have people asking me if I can create some items like wallets and gunslings and use the salmon leather as inlay. There are no leather workers anywhere in this area that I am aware of.
All things leather has my interest and so I would like to start learning, I have made a basic list to get started, if I am m issing something or you have any recommendations please do!
- Utility knife / Xacto knife
- Metal ruler + metal square
- Japanese skiving knife
- Hole punch
- Stitching chisels (high quality)
- Awls
- Strap cutter
- Stitching pony
- Self healing cutting mat / board
How does that look for starting?
