I am wanting to make a long dog leash but not sure what leather I should use. Its for a Siberian husky, not sure of weight yet because he was skin and bones but now gaining weight every week. Shouldn't be much over 60 pounds. I found some 5/8' x 96" x 3.2 to 3.6mm thick Latigo strips. Is that thick enough for a leash? He doesn't pull much walking but if he hits on a smell he liks he squats low and pulls and there is no pulling him back.any help would be appreciated.

25 solid bronze alligator clips, with locking mechanism and safety release. $110 for all 25, plus $10 S&H via USPS priority mail. Domestic shipping only. New never used, any color variation is because these are unfinished bronze, not plated.

Just finished two more bleedknot dog leashes. As simple as the bleedknot is, I still have to watch UKSaddlery's video every time to get it right. If I'd hang on to one these leashes, I could just use that I guess. One is for sale the other is a donation for auction at Black Dog Animal Rescue in Cheyenne, Wyoming.

I'm having a problem when dyeing leashes. The edges are very dark and the center of the strap is much lighter. Also around the slots it's soaking up a lot more dye. The back of the piece doesn't seem to be affected, just the grain side. I am running the straps through a small trough as in "dip-dyeing". I run it through three times and it's better, but as you can see, still not acceptable. I had this issue once before, and this time I burnished the edges first, to harden them up a bit, but it didn't seem to help at all. Any suggestions? I'm ready to go back to using a dauber. Also, dip dyeing takes a LOT of dye! Thanks, Jeff -
Thought I'd try the dog lead from UKSADDLERY. Interesting, I had fun doing it.

Getting back into braiding and leatherwork after a long time away from it. Made a leash for my brother and his red heeler (quality tested by my Dobie). Kangaroo leather six-strand round plait, over a paracord core, loops back-spliced in, and the clip end loop braided over again to give a replaceable wear area. -
I am closing my pet collar and leash business and the entire contents of my workshop has to go. I have a good supply of hardware (collar and leash buckles, rivets, misc), fluids (angelus leather dye, big bottle of resolene, small bottles of Angelus leather paint, etc), hand tools (small selection of tooling/carving stuff, hole punches, rotary cutter, letter stamp sets, etc), a few larger tools (leather splitter, lace cutter), and leather (latigo and tooling, from 2/3 up to 9/10, most leather is Hermann Oak, also most leather is cut into strips for collars or 4" strips for easy storage and accessibility). Also have misc other stuff, like mailing envelopes, books and patterns. Located in Portland, OR, and willing to ship or deliver if you are close enough. Even leather will ship pretty easily since it is cut into strips and will fit in boxes nicely. Please let me know if you are interested in more details, and I will work on my inventory so I know exactly what I have and set asking prices. Thanks for your time!

Hi all. Right now I'm thinking about making some dog leashes with some of the leather I have around. It's just vegetable tanned, and I was wondering if that type of leather would be appropriate for that sort of thing. Usually when I see people making leads and collars it's with bridle or latigo leather. I've got a leather finish that works pretty well to waterproof the leather, so I don't think the leather getting wet is a huge issue, but are latigo and bridle leathers that much stronger?

I'm not, but it turned out ok.

Hi all I live in South Africa, and have just moved from the coast up to awesome Johannesburg! Joining a leather working site is probably a bit premature, seeing as my entire leather work experience consists of a lanyard and a failed phone cover, but I'm hoping to learn a lot from this site. I'm interested in making my dog a leather dog collar and a leash, but being new to Johannesburg, I have no idea where to look for the leather strips or the hardware. Any fellow Joburg'ers out there who could point me in the right direction? I'm in Randburg, North West. Thanks, and it's great to join such a friendly community :-)

Crocodile Dog Collar And Leash Set
The Dawg Club posted a topic in Collars, Cuffs, Leashes and Leads
One set I made for my crew and one for a good friend on mine who is one of the creators of the Shorty Bull. One leash has the tail attached...the other just has accents. Malik
