Members Rockworthy Posted February 17, 2011 Members Report Posted February 17, 2011 Hello forum! I am a new guy at upholstery but I find this a fascinating craft. I really, REALLY want to learn how to make my own custom steering wheel covers, shift knobs and shift boots. I found a super high-end auto upholstery shop that has pictures of some of their work. What kind of leather is this in the picture and where can I get it? http://www.advancedleatherworkshop.com/AstonPics/VanquishSteerWheel.jpg See how soft, thick and smooth it is? I want. I WANT. Quote
JRodz Posted February 17, 2011 Report Posted February 17, 2011 I recommend you contact some of the sponsors with banners on this site. If they can't help you, here are a few suppliers near me that you can check out online, or beter yet give them a call. http://www.pacifichide.com/ http://www.unitedleather.com/ http://savmorleather.com/ Quote

Members KyGuy Posted February 27, 2011 Members Report Posted February 27, 2011 Try taking a piece os veg tanned leather and run it through a pasta roller. It tightens the grain, softens the leather and it is smooth like shoe leather. Quote
