Hello!
I love all my leather products... started looking for a desk pad and was unable to find exactly what I wanted. I started watching You Tube videos and looking at some of the leather stores such as Tandy and would like to try to build one myself! I notice most places sell by Sq Ft and any sites I can find with panels are not quite large enough for what I need. I need a minimum of 3ft x 2ft for the desk pad and not sure if this would be a double shoulder or a side? Any tips for someone who has NEVER bought raw leather like this before?
I am ok with some left overs.... I would also like to try and get a Mouse pad, made some coasters, key chains and some other small items to practice with before I try and tackle the large piece. I have been working on a list of all the tools I need and it seems quite doable especially given what I was looking at spending prior @ Saddleback and some other stores for a desk pad and mouse pad alone.
Any help or tips would be much appreciated as so far my only experiance doing this is watching YouTube
Thanks!
