I mainly build holsters and knife sheathes. It's not really a business for me,  more a busy hobby to pay for my leather addiction.  And in building these things I generate a bunch of scrap. I use some for ball markers for my golf buddies, and a few other things. I recently found a use for the leftover ends of belt straps other than dog collars.  A sand bottle/thermos holder that snaps on a golf bag or push cart. I can see this being used in several other ways as well. Another thing I have seen is the ovals for holding hair up. I am working on a few different sizes for these as well. Nope, not my hair..

I have a giant case full of dublin and herman oak. I usually just make my self things with them.

My scrap is usually very much smaller pieces, odd shapes less than 1/4 the size of a paper $. I've just been sorting out a box full to send to a lady for her to use in art with the children she teaches

I use scraps all the time, often when I need to add thickness or for a small patch or padding. Recently I've obtained this kinda thin vegtan from a scrap bag mice ate through partially and I used it as support on a horse harness piece. Never throw anything away lol

Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms.
