Members badger Posted June 12, 2009 Members Report Posted June 12, 2009 Johann, Price is usually per side or shoulder. I pay between 3.15 and 3.90 Pounds Sterling per square foot plus shipping, depending on thickness. The sides are BIG. They sent samples to me when I requested them. Cheers, Badger Quote
Members TheTrooper Posted June 12, 2009 Members Report Posted June 12, 2009 Hi Johann, I don´t really know about the quality compared to Hermann Oaks, but I have good experiences with the leather from Worring Leder But I also saw that Hermann Oaks must have a distributor here in Germany. Could you please explain to me, what you mean with "deadgrinding" leather ?!? Cheers, Marcel Quote FKA adamant-leather Feel free to visit my site adamant-leather.de
Members manfrommuc Posted June 12, 2009 Author Members Report Posted June 12, 2009 hallo marcel, deadgrinding = totgewalzt (wie einen strudelteig!!) das heisst in usa wird leder nach gewicht verkauft und bei uns nach fläche grüsse und danke Hi Johann,I don´t really know about the quality compared to Hermann Oaks, but I have good experiences with the leather from Worring Leder But I also saw that Hermann Oaks must have a distributor here in Germany.

Members gesa Posted June 13, 2009 Members Report Posted June 13, 2009 Hello Johann, I buy my carving leather and most other leathers I need at Kobel http://www.kobel-leder.de/ . Their leather is easy to carve, but it is maybe not as cheap as other tannerys. The burnishing of Hermann Oak leather is a bit reddish, and Kobel leather not. They send you samples upon request I think. They sell their thicker hides from 2 mm up by kilogram , only thin leathers are sold by squaremeter. Years ago I bought a hide via ebay ( it was the one and only auction I saw from them) from Kilger http://www.kilger.de/index.cfm It was a very good quality too, but I don't know their current pricelist.
