Members DG Leather Posted March 19, 2009 Members Report Posted March 19, 2009 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 Quote
Members LAPat Posted March 19, 2009 Members Report Posted March 19, 2009 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. Pat Quote
Leather Bum Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 (edited) How about Caledon Leather? I just saw the link somewhere else on the board. . . L'Bum Edited March 20, 2009 by Leather Bum Quote
Contributing Member Denise Posted March 20, 2009 Contributing Member Report Posted March 20, 2009 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. Quote
Members DG Leather Posted March 21, 2009 Author Members Report Posted March 21, 2009 What types of toolable leather are there? is there a variety of veg tan types? or colors?
