Moderator bruce johnson Posted December 21, 2010 Moderator Report Posted December 21, 2010 Roger, I use it some for inlays and also for a few purses. It actually works up about like a medium weight chap leather for me, maybe just a bit more body. The very surface seems to be harder than most leathers other than shark or stingray. I don't know who sells it in small pieces. Sometimes Springfield Leather sells exotic scrap. I got a couple scrap bags of ostrich with some decent sized pieces from them last spring. They might have a handle on some elephant the same way.

Denster Posted December 21, 2010 Report Posted December 21, 2010 Give Kevin at Springfield Leather a call. They will sell you a couple of sqft. The last I bought was very reasonable and really nice. Quote
