carljc72 Report post Posted July 16, 2009 Does anyone sell smaller pieces of Ostrich (maybe by the foot or in 1 or 2 sqft pieces)? I realize ostrich is not cheap and most places only want to sell entire hides, but I only need enough to make 1 holster. It will be for a 5" 1911 with full coverage on the front of the holster. Also, as a side note, can it be dyed like most leathers? Thanks Carl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
azrider Report post Posted July 16, 2009 Not sure about ostrich, but there is an Emu Farm that goes to my local farmer's market. I have to ask them to bring it, but they sell leg and body leather. The leg leather has some really awesome texture to it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I name dropped you the last time I called them about some shark and stingray. I was thinking they told me they only sold whole hides in everything but elephant. Then again...maybe that's why my wife tells me not to do the thinking. Carl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
