Dubs Chops Report post Posted October 12, 2010 Hey guys, I have bought some leather on ebay before but was wondering where you guys would reccomend for me to pick up some small quantities of leather? Also I made a coaster out of some leather that was pretty thick probably 3/16" thick. Can you guys tell me what weight I need to order to get the same?

If you have a Tandy store near you by all means visit. The managers and clerks are normally knowledgeable and you can get scrap bags plus smaller skins of 8 or 9 square feet. I have very little to no problem with their leather. When visiting the store you can select whatever you want. ferg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BIGGUNDOCTOR Report post Posted October 13, 2010 I second Tandy for starters. It is nice being able to see , and pick out what you want. My closest Tandy (Las Vegas) has a great manager, and Dee is always very helpful. They also teach classes, and the leather guild meets there too.

TwinOaks Report post Posted October 13, 2010 If you have no choice but to order online, check out Springfield Leather (ad banner at top). They have good deals and if you need less than what you see on the site, they will cut leather to get you what you want/need. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
