You can get them from Tandy, but it's cheaper by far to go to a local monument maker or custom counter shop and see if they have any broken pieces you can have for free or for cheap.

Hilly Report post Posted February 12, 2009 Hi! 3 oz tooling leather is pretty light. Be careful when carving/tooling that you don't cut right through your leather, or you could learn to use bad words. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
