  1. 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.


  2. Hello!

    Just thought I would introduce myself since I found this website and loved it so much :). There's just so much talent here it's a double edged knife where you are both inspired and intimidated at the same time heh.

    As for myself, I've just gotten back into leatherwork, and am focusing mostly on journal covers at the moment, though I like to do other projects here and there when the mood gets me.

    So to close, I just want to say that I'm really glad I found this great resource of a website and hope that I can be a worthy addition in the time to come.
