Hey guys! Just wanted to share a custom order I just completed. Never really posted to the Show Off! forum but I really loved making this! Everyone knows that super awesome feeling after finishing something that has been created from Veg Tan to completed!

I ordered two stamps from LW Leathers a few months back and have had alot of issues. First their shipping states that it will arrive within 10-15 days but this is false. Apparently its 10-15 days processing and 10-15 days to ship. I wanted a hammer stamp and not their clamp stamp and was advised by the owner Calvin to go with their custom leather stamp with hammering handle. So I ordered the stamp and an extra stamp as well. Come to find out the hammering handle came stripped so I can't even use it. After speaking with Calvin again regarding this issue he said that he would reach out to me after 3/2 as this was the Chinese new year and I have yet to hear from him. Its not a bad stamp but the customer service and quality of the handle was something that added a big headache.

Hello All! I have reached out to many USA tanneries within the last few weeks to find a new source of leather. I am currently using Oil Tanned sides not tanned in the states and wanting to order from an American tannery. After reaching out to Wickett & Craig, Horween, Herman Oaks, and S.B. Foot regarding my needs I have really just received their product details. I would like to hear from fellow leather workers what their views are on these tanneries and which would be my best bet. I hate making decisions without a few recommendations. I currently make men's bag and wanting to put out a new line using the new leather. Attached is a photo of a bag I have made (dont mind the unfinished edges!). I would like the leather to be similar to what is shown. Cheers!
