I found out today from my friend that leather I have is "latigo" he uses the leather for dog harnesses, he showed me some that have been in use for a long time and they look like they take the abuse well...am I going to have problems wet forming this leather? As for JB cases' I do know him from AZB..great guy' but haven't asked him about cases..that I will do..I went to joann and all they have for quick rivets is a assorted pack of sizes and colors, I will continue my quest' - Rob.M

- - thank you for the replies...what is the difference in chrome and veg tan leather? i can get some pictures tomorrow and post them here' im not sure how to size the pics to size because i will be posting them from my smart phone....i do know the leather i have is some stiff stuff' .... am i gonna have problems trying to use this leather on a cue case? i see saddle leather cue cases sell for high dollars....what is saddle leather??? do any of you guys know any cue case makers or have made any cue cases?? - thanks a TON!

hello all' im new to this area, im working on building my self a pool cue case....my friend gave me some thick leather that he had on hand, he makes basic dog collars and harnesses for training dogs... the leather he gave me is dyed leather, my question is that can i tool/carve leather that is already dyed? the leather is about 5 mil or so thick, my other question is where is the best place for me to buy rivets and clasps and what not...im trying to spend minimal amount of money...i already have the internal frame work of the case made, i just need to make the leather outside....if i had the money i would just drop the few hundred on a cue case+ i like to make my own stuff', the guy i got the leather from got it from tandy leather...i have looked around on there site and was wondering if there is better prices else where on hardware and supply's .. - thanks for any input- - Rob.M
