Members whinewine Posted November 30, 2010 Members Report Posted November 30, 2010 Does anyone have a current U.S. source for frog skins?? Thanks in advance, Mark Try Springfield. If you don't see them listed in their catalogue, call them. Always helpful. They have many things not listed because of small quantities, availability issues, etc. Quote
Moderator bruce johnson Posted November 30, 2010 Moderator Report Posted November 30, 2010 Jerry VanAmburg has a lot of exotics and different colors of frog. Here's a link - Van Amburg Leathers . I think that is the old address and he has moved everything to Idaho now. The phone number I have is (208) 785-0800.

Members DCKNIVES Posted November 30, 2010 Members Report Posted November 30, 2010 Just to add another source, Henry at the "Ostrich Market " carries them.Dave Quote http://dcknivesandle...lademakers.com/
Members K-Man Posted November 30, 2010 Members Report Posted November 30, 2010 Mark: You can get them from Jerry at Van Amburg. I just ordered some. Dave: That's news to me about Ostrich Market. Last time I checked with them, approximately 3 months ago, they said they did not have any and would not be carrying any ever again. Glad to hear they changed their mind. Quote
Members Mark Garrity Posted November 30, 2010 Author Members Report Posted November 30, 2010 Thanks all! I've dealt with VanAmburg before but didn't have current contact info. I'll give him a ring.

He had some over there when I was in last month, maybe he is just getting rid of what he has.He sells so much gator that takes up alot of his time and the profit margin is alot better.

Members BigRiverLeather Posted December 25, 2010 Members Report Posted December 25, 2010 I've usually used Ostrich Market but there have been a couple of times they did not have what I needed and used Bud Camp. He has also given me me excellent service going above and beyond. http://www.exotichides.com/ Quote Big River Leather

That guy's prices are more than double in price for a frog skin you can get at Van Amburg. Edited December 25, 2010 by K-Man Quote

Bud did right by me once on a sticky wicket so I figured I'd give him a plug. Quote Big River Leather
