Members carljc72 Posted July 16, 2009 Members Report 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
Members azrider Posted July 16, 2009 Members Report 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

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
