Places To Buy Vegetable Tanned In Montreal Canada

[Places To Buy Vegetable Tanned In Montreal Canada]

I keep hearing about great places to buy carving leather in Montreal but no one ever passes on the actual names (trade secret I guess although I'm really just a hobbyist). I've googled it every which way I can think of but still no luck - just plenty of places that sell finished leather goods.

Does anyone have any tips to pass on. I live about 3 hours drive away and am willing to make a shopping trip but can't even locate addresses so far.

Thanks in advance

[Thinning Barge Cement]

I'm looking on some tips for thinning Barge cement. My local Tandy's only sells a generic thinner which they say will work but other folks have warned me against. Even if it does work I would have to buy a litre which is a little pricey and is a lot of thinner that I'll have around for a long time. Does anyone have experience with thinning with other materials that might be available to me locally in smaller quantities?

Thanks

Second that, Bob. The letters can be kerned more naturally so they don't look like they were pressed out of a cookie cutter. And there is so much more greater variety of fonts and sizes to choose from. It's well worth the effort to hand carve your letters.

I agree completely but my knife skills aren't good enough for that yet (I'm practicing though)

Leave the one stamp in place and line up the next one touching it.

I tried that yesterday with the initials "WKT" and the WK came out good but the T is right out to lunch. I've got the vertical spacing in hand, its more the horizontal spacing that is giving me the problem.

I've been working with some letter stamps (initials on wallets, etc) but I can't seem to get the spacing between the letters to look the same. Are there any tricks that can help get more even spaced looking lettering.

Thanks in advance folks.
