don't you sew the leather?
-
have a look at SLC

on the example of tooling leather - personally, I think HermannOak and WIckettCraig leathers are the top. Despite of 'each' country having tannery doesn't mean they are competitive. btw - the leather industry we use to create our goods is alive because of traditions and vision - otherwise mass market fitting would be the wrong way to go.

it's not an illusion - that's how it work )
-
agree with Richard - you won't lose with buckleguy's items quality and pricing
-
wrong - you can charge whatever you want. it all depends on a craftsmanship, material quality, work execution etc.

wax works like an additional magnet for the dirt. @Mocivnik share some examples in the photos

Advice for creating weathered black effect?

washing machine for a round or two? ) -
it's worth to buy couple of Stohlman's books - there are picture and explanation on the tools
-
let's be honest - not many of us use scrap and/or precut pieces. yes, it's helpful when we need some, but mostly... this brings to another point - if we can buy the best tooling leather directly from the source, why pay 2/3 grade for the same price or even higher? keep in mind that distributors will always get their bucks on reselling for a simple reason - they buy in bulk and on lower prices
-
I'm also planning to purchase there - can you please share a photo of the stamping result ?
-
why wouldn't you get the top quality from US ?
-
your information is wrong - they will sell you. get in contact with Rachele
-
this topic should me moved as it's misplaced
-
why don't you try on a piece and share the results with us?
-
true @LeatherNewbie76 you can easily find out the cost of the rivets, threads, glue etc. - come on, it's simple math man
-
let's get this refreshed. So, there are some crafters who already completed the journey, but no info who is the manufacturer, the prices, terms/conditions Here are few samples, if anyone knows who where and how - please share

Has anyone seen this type of damage to a wet formed saddle?
nrk replied to timesofplenty's topic in Leatherwork Conversation
quite simple - not enough conditioning - it just got too dry same here -
looks like bites. no way and a reason to fight. just get a ggod leather. Wickett Craig is good (one of the best leathers) to work with. 9$ per foot for the top quality. Go get it now )))
-
+1 buckleguy + some ebay sellers do have a good quality snaps - just need time to find and check
-

-
it will end up with a smear/spread of an acrylic antique stain (if used) over the surface on what type of work do you use resolene? photo?
-

-
