fredk Report post Posted September 8, 2022 oh, man, that not like you ! you must be having an off-day. Go have an ice cold beer or iced tea and do sum thunking Inserts on; knife sheath, gun holster, man's wallet, woman's purse. A strip or two of it for hat bands Archery bracer or cowboy cuffs Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tugadude Report post Posted September 8, 2022 Use it as an accent inlay, not an entire article. For example: (taken at random from the web) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mulesaw Report post Posted September 8, 2022 A set of suspenders would look great I think To me it looks kind of like the Y shape on a military basis carry system (probably another name in America). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doc Reaper Report post Posted September 9, 2022 (edited) I have been with “Leather Worker”for quite some time now. How is it some of y’all get the oddest hard to find, rare to hear of skins???? And what kind of mind turns a turtle or a stingray hide into a useful article?? I’m out here barely able to think of the choirs that need to be done and some of ya are getting snapper skins or roo hides, I just gotta asks how does one find these? that turtle hide would make a great inlay for a holster or a sheath, but don’t use it as an article of clothing (belt buckle or wrist band). Because of its uniqueness make it an item that will last about a century or more Edited September 9, 2022 by Doc Reaper Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cane Toad skins make good stuff too .No shortage of skins, we only have about 1.3 billion + of the damn things. The texture of the snapper skin reminds me of them .
