I found a source of cheap leather for practicing & prototyping

I found this while poking around Springfield Leathers site. It's far from perfect, but at $2.59 a square foot it's perfect for a beginner like me to practice with.

This 20 sq ft. Hide plus taxes and shipping, was only $61.29.

Queen sized bed for reference.

I might have to get one for linings. A lot of those blemishes don't matter inside a holster.
