Members Hicks02 Posted September 17, 2010 Members Report Posted September 17, 2010 Hello all. I am running into the problem of having a lot of left over belly. I buy HO sides and make mostly holsters and gun belts. I was wanting to what do you all do with the left overs. By the way it is about 1/3 of the hide I am stuck with. I do not want to use this for holsters due to the stretch factor. Thanks JH Quote
Members steelhawk Posted September 17, 2010 Members Report Posted September 17, 2010 I have the same problem with a side of Live Oak from Tandy Leather. I've decided that I will look at double shoulders and see if I can get 7-8 oz leather in that. Quote www.bearriverholsters.com
Members Hicks02 Posted September 17, 2010 Author Members Report Posted September 17, 2010 I really like using HO and right now all I can get is a side. When I started I used double shoulders, but that was mexican tanned stuff. JH Quote
Members troop Posted September 18, 2010 Members Report Posted September 18, 2010 don't know if HO will do it, but i use W/C and they sell single backs (sides without bellies) and they come really nice with very little waste. Tony Quote The hand that feeds you also puts the chains around your neck.

Members Shorts Posted September 18, 2010 Members Report Posted September 18, 2010 For my belt leather I've started ordering backs so I can forgo the extra bellies. I'm thinking of doing similar for my holster leather. I am intrested in buying bellies. If you would sell them what is your price? How much sq ft is each belly? 7/8 oz? How many do you have? Please provide a picture. Emial me at below address if intrested. I should have bellies as well. I'll see about getting them in order and sending you details. No use the stuff sitting here when they can be getting used. Quote
Denster Posted September 18, 2010 Report Posted September 18, 2010 Bellies can be used for all kinds of neat stuff. Knife sheaths, Butt covers, archery bracers, pocket quivers are just a few that come to mind. Quote
