This is my kick starter Project! Check it out and pledge! help make this dream come true! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/905865110/wolves-leather April of 2013 I quit my construction job and moved to downtown Pittsburgh to officially start my leather working business called “Wolves Leather”. I really enjoy working with my hands where I can create a quality product for everyday use. All of my products are my own design and are all made by hand including the stitching. Everyone benefits from quality products which is why I strive to craft the best leather goods that I can so that they will be used enjoyed for years to come. Today I have my dad's leather coat he wore 40 years ago and I have my grandfather's leather boots he wore 60 years ago. A leather product can be passed on from generation to generation giving it amazing sentimental value, which is priceless.

Hey friends! I have been searching for a good belt template.. Any ideas?

Hey everyone. So I like to use Stone Oil Cowhide Leather Sides to make wallets and all sorts of leather goods! Now this leather is tanned with wax and oils and I was wondering what I need to do to just take care of the leather. Sometimes I don't get to my studio to work for weeks and the leather just sits there. What can I do to keep the the leather fresh? If theres even anything that needs to be done? https://www.tandyleatherfactory.com/en-usd/search/searchresults/9070-313.aspx This is the link to the leather I use^^^^ Any info would be awesome! thanks!

OK awesome thanks!

So whats the best leather I can get for belts that I can dye myself? And where can I get it. I found this leather but I never used it before so any thoughts? http://springfieldleather.com/25849/Bend%2CBelt%2CHermannOak%2CSngl%2C9-10/ Thanks!

This is great! helps me a lot!! Thanks!

Honestly this is what I do. Wherever I go I leave a business card. I sign myself up for as many art shows as I can that are local. Social media always helps as well... So I would get a facebook, twitter, tumblr and instagram.... You just have to stay active with it. Where I am from there are not that many leatherworkers so word travels fast. So thats what I do and it seems to be working very well.

Oh sorry I would like to dye them myself.

So I have been looking for a hide that I can make belts and will dye really nicely with black, mahogany, dark brown, etc. Any info would be awesome! Thanks! Austyn
