I work for a manufacturer of leather furniture. All of the leathers that we use are top grain chrome dyed. I have a lot of small pieces that I was thinking about selling by the pound. These are small pieces, suitable for leather necklaces, bracelets, etc. I am happy to send you a photo. I can be reached at aebikurt(at)yahoo.com. Thanks!

I've just been told that almost all of our leather is chrome dyed. Now I know that I can't stamp or carve it...thanks! Any ideas on what I might do with this stuff? Some of the pieces are very large.

Also, this leather is already dyed, and some of it is embossed. You can't stamp or carve leather that's already been dyed, can you? As you can tell, I'm at the very beginning of this adventure.

First post. A few weeks ago I started working for a company that manufactures custom furniture, using only top or full grain leather. He has waste leather (approx. 15%) in two huge cardboard boxes that I'm sure the he sells to someone. I'm trying to come up with some way of turning that leather into extra cash for me, perhaps making leather bracelets, or dog collars. Hell, I don't know. The leather is very thin, certainly much thinner that a dog collar. Would I glue the leather back to back to achieve a thicker stock? I've never done any leatherwork but it sounds appealing, and with the apparent availability of the most expensive part of the hobby, perhaps something I should take up. Any thoughts or ideas?
