Hey all,
I was hoping to get a few suggestion regarding what to buy for my next order. Here's the thing, I don't have physical access to a leather supplier right now, and so need to order online. The closest retailer seems to be Tandy as far as I know to northern Ontario, so to not be killed by shipping I thought I'd stick with them.
What I'm looking for is some veg tan that is flexible enough to fold around the edge of a book cover, while still having a great depth to the tooling. I've used 3-4oz in the past for this, but I find that its just a little too flat after tooling.
And since I used to buy from a local that closed down, I have no idea about the properties of the brands they sell. Any I should stay away from completely? I'm honestly not that picky, just looking for something that gives the best balance of tooling vs. flexibility.
Thanks for any insight you can give.
