    Actually if you're not in a hurry you should be able to ask them to send them in a thick padded envelope via USPS First Class International Mail. It takes about 10-14 days to arrive but the cost is only about $4-$6 USD for the shipping.

    Otherwise, USPS Priority Mail is 4-7 days and costs $16.95. UPS and FedEx are significantly higher. Hope that helps. If all that fails, I may still know a German woodturner or two that could help. I definitely know a few Brits that could. Whether or not they have a suitable piece of wood is another question though as Cocobolo comes from So. America so it may be costly over there negating the shipping cost difference.

    Oh, that's not too bad ill give the usps international shipping a try. Thanks again!

    Hi there,

    I can recommend kobel leather too. Best I used so far. For tools you can also give the guys at Bear gallery a call (bear gallery.de). They will send you a Tandy catalogue and a price list. They have all the Tandy stuff plus some great other tools (at thei website) plus fiebings dyes and leather. Great people to deal with.

    Lederkram and worring leder have been mentioned already.

    Wolf-borger-messer.de is building some outstanding round knifes.

    Lederhaus.de has got a wide variety of leathers and tools too.

    There are many other small online shops, but I don't think you will find anything there, that you can't find in one of the mentioned shops.

    Good luck

    Jonathan

    Excellent! Thank you! I shot the bear gallery guys an email hoping they could send me a catalog. Hope they understand English because I'm still learning German. Matter of fact my language school starts next week! Thanks again!

    I'm looking to get started on some sheath making and am looking at some tools online. I'm about to order a burnisher I've seen online, its the one thats made of wood and shaped like a spindle (best description I could come up with!) they have them unfinished, just raw wood shaped in the tool shape and stained (much smoother). Since I'll be using it to rub edges and shape leather does it make a difference what one I order?

    Thanks!

    I've recently moved to Germany and would like to try my hand at some sheaths and whatnot. The problem is I can't find any craft shops or stores that sell leather crafting tools or leather either! Anyone know where I can look? I've checked locally and online (amazon.de, Google.de) and came back with nothing!
