A little introduction first. My name is George and I'm retired from the textile business after 38 years and a bad back. I been doing leather for probably 30 years or more mostly keeping my stuff together when my daughter and I would go to Western North Carolina, on the yearly wagon train. Now, the bad back keeps me off the horses, but the leather keeps me in the business. I've done some saddle repair, made custom chaps, holsters, headstalls and so forth. I really love this forum (I really spend too much time here and not enough in the shop) and have learned a great deal just reading everyone's post. Now for my question------ I had a young lady bring me a rope can to cover for her boyfriend's birthday. Nothing fancy, just a cross cut out and backed with hair on hide, and spots all the way around the outer edge. What weight leather do the rest of you use to cover your cans? I've seen some beautiful can on here with some outstanding carving and stamping and think it should be more the 4/5 oz. Thanks for any and all help. George

I received one, plus a "renew" card.

Mine is from Grey Ghost, Jeff Mosby, in Myrtle, SC. It's GREAT!!!!!! Fast service too!

BEAUTIFUL WORK!!!

Count me in. Always enjoy learning a new way to do things.

THIS I LIKE!! Ronald

WOW!!!! THAT IS GREAT!!!

I would also like to add my thanks to you, Johanna!! You and everyone responsible for this forum have done a wonderful job. Like my dad used to tell me " if you are going to do something do it right" well YOU have done it right!!!! I look more than post, but really enjoy the friendly members and their willingness to share their knowledge and beautiful work. Thanks again and hats off to you, Johanna , for a job well done!!! George

I also emailed you,

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE FROM MINE TO YOURS!!

Ian, I agree!!!! Hide House has great leather. Purchased my last 4 sides for chaps and trim from them. Myself and the customers were very well pleased with it!! Ronald
