Thanks big sioux. By oil tanned i mean pull up
-
ok so i was tinkering and i managed to get a somehat burnish on oil tanned leather if i put more time in i could probbly get it pretty nice. I want to start making bags and i really dont have the experience to know how bridle oil tanned or latigo acts when it comes to burnishing. I want to make bags but want to be able to get a good smooth edge. Any suggestions on types of leather i should use? My first bag will most likely be made of veg tan because thats what i have plenty of to make mistakes with as i learn.

Question About Bison Leather And Re Veg Leather
Padenlopez replied to Padenlopez's topic in Leatherwork Conversation
So when they say 30% veg what does that mean? -
When trying to find buffalo or bison leather i can only find 30% veg tanned or 30% reveg leather. My question is can u wet mold 30% veg tanned or re veg leather and will it make items rust assuming it has some chrome tanning done to it? Thank you for your time and posts

Ok i can only find somthing called 30% re veg bison leather when searching for a vegetable tanned buffalo leather. My question is can you wet mold 30% veg tanned leather and will is the 70% chrome tanned so will it make metal items rust like chrome tanned does? In general what is it what can i use it for if i buy it? Or does anyone here know where you can get 100% veg tanned leather? Thanks for your time and comments

In general what do you make with what mm or oz leather like if u make holsters or wallets or belts or sheaths just curious to see what people use for their different projects
-
Ive seen a lot of bison leather products like wallets and bags with the edges unfinished ive heard good things about it durability and softness but i really dont like the look of an unfinished edge. Im just wondering if theres a reason like it doesnt burnish correctly and thats why the edges are left unfinished or is it just a preference?

I am new to leather work and i was watching nigel armitage videos. In one video he said depending on how many stitches per inch you do you should have an appropriate thread size so im curious for 7 or 8 stitches per inch on a phone case or wallet do i use the .6 mm thread or .8 or 1. Basically im looking for a general explanation so when i go up to a bag or tablet case i can know what to do. I hope this makes since im not sure im explaining myself right
