JLSleather Report post Posted January 10, 2010 (edited) Okay, picture a guy bug-eyed from reading the posts and picking his nose (in "deep" thought ). Somebody give me the short version on 1 or 2 good bets on some decent carving leather -- 3/4 oz and 8/9 oz. I used to buy quite a bit from The Leather Factory, BEFORE it was Tandy Leather Factory. Now, I just don't like the idea of paying $2/ft more for the same hide. SO - tell me a good place to buy a couple of hides. I'm thinking that way if I don't get the skins I want, it'll be your fault No, really, somebody recommend somebody (guessing Keving has one vote for Springfield ) Oh, yeah, don't care about the occasional hack mark, but I want good natural color ...

JLSleather Report post Posted January 13, 2010 #&$@$&%%$&$#$$@#@! Ordered a 3/4 oz "middle of the road" hide, and got back a 2 1/2 oz hide (approx) that looks like it's FROM the middle of the road -- and a credit slip. Just ordered 1 hide so I could see what they have. Guess now I know what they have, or maybe this is just what they send people who aren't looking them in the face (?). Credit slip???? If I wanted the money, I wouldn't have ordered the hide! No, I can't say where it was, because to do that I'd have to give them a chance to FIX it, which I'm not doing (wasn't W/C referred to above, though). Probably good that he's quite a way off ... can't really afford the bad hide, the replacement hide, AND the bail money ... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
outcast Report post Posted January 13, 2010 It doesn't do you, or anyone else, any good to rant about a bad hide,& not say who it was, or give them a chance to fix the deal. I have had to send more than a couple of hides back, but every supplier has always come through with a good one to make me happy. Just sayin, hides cost $. If yer not happy get yer money back, or give them a chance to make good. Keepin a bad hide just doesn't make sense to me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
