Carvable leather

[DG Leather]

If I am not mistaken, veg tan is the only real toolable leather. I am wondering if there is anyone who knows where i can buy leather in Canada other than Tandy...I am in northern BC

Actually, because I didn't know any better, I've put impressions in all kinds of leather. Why can't you tool latigo? It doesn't take an impression as easily, but it takes it.

How about Caledon Leather? I just saw the link somewhere else on the board. . .

Caledon supplies the leather for I would say the majority of saddle makers in Western Canada, plus a lot of hardware, etc. Ken is great to deal with and if he doesn't have something, he will either tell you where to get it or look for it for you. They ship all over by bus or mail so getting it to you isn't a problem.

What types of toolable leather are there? is there a variety of veg tan types? or colors?

I been ordering from tandy but they send me wrong thickness....the 3 and 8 are exact same....was the same thing when i went to the warehouse
