Members Freddo Posted February 22, 2009 Members Report Posted February 22, 2009 Does anyone know where you can get Buffalo Hide and what it runs for a side or sq ft? My renaissance festival mocasings were hand made by Bald Mountain Moccasins. The owner has retired, and the patterns for custom mocs were purchased by one of his apprentices who run a show named Mystic Soles Custom Moccasins. I was thinking about trying to make a pair for a friend, now that I am into leatherworking, but I have no idea where you can get tanned buffalo hides. Thanks Fred Quote

Thanks Fred I think Hidehouse carries it, but you have to have a business license to order from them. Quote
Members Freddo Posted February 22, 2009 Author Members Report Posted February 22, 2009 Standing Bears Trading post appears to sell 8 Oz buffalo hides as well. Has anyone used them before? They don't have pricing on their website, you have to contact them directly. I hate when they do that Fred Quote

Members Daggrim Posted February 23, 2009 Members Report Posted February 23, 2009 Ditto on the leatherguy.com. Hundreds of hides, different colors and grades. Quote
tashabear Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 I think you guys mean theleatherguy.org -- the .com version is a cybersquatter. Quote
Arturo Posted February 24, 2009 Report Posted February 24, 2009 I don't know what a "cyber squatter" is but you are right, .org not .com. Thanks' Quote
