Hello all, my name is Jake and I'm looking to give leatherworking a try. I was wondering if there were any folks here from Maryland, especially out in my neck of the woods in Frederick or Washington counties, who could possibly point me towards any local (or as local as possible) stores where I could by leather and some tools with which to work it. There is a Tandy Leather in Baltimore, but it sounds like I'd rather go somewhere else due to pricing and customer service issues I've read about on these forums. It would be a bummer to make the trek to Baltimore just to have a bad experience. I may just look into ordering from someplace like Springfield Leather, but it'd be nice to actually visit a physical store to see all the supplies and tools of the trade and whatnot firsthand, being a complete neophyte as I am. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out with this.
