My name is Josh and I live In Newfoundland, Canada.
I have just discovered the world of leather work and I can't wait to get started on my first project.
I've watched a ton of videos and i'm pretty sure what tools i'm gonna need but i'm not entirely certain where the best place to find my leather is.
How much should a beginner need? Say I want my first project to be a guitar strap.
How much should I pay for said leather? How do I know when i'm being ripped off?
Is it more expensive to get my own hides tanned? My father does a fair bit of hunting, is it worth my while to turn around and get his skins tanned?
Thank you so much for your time.
