ABC3 Report post Posted January 6, 2011 Can someone direct me to a Quality Horse Hide Dist. that doesn't require a $1,000 mim.? I have tried several and the quality just isn't there. Too many imperfections and I understand most comes out of Mexico since most of the US houses have shut down. Thanks for any suggestions. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seigle has the Cordovan shell listed on their website if that is what you are looking for. They also have horse hide butts, the quality isn't fantastic on these. Be prepared to pay close to $150.00 for each 1 1/2 to 2 sq ft shell in Cordovan. I used Cordovan shells years ago. Cannot carve it, some of the most beautiful leather I have ever used. ferg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
