Members ABC3 Posted April 24, 2011 Members Report Posted April 24, 2011 Craig, You can go to Weavers or Zack White. Google for their websites.

MADMAX22 Posted April 24, 2011 Report Posted April 24, 2011 As mentioned the above works, Kevin is a great guy to work with. I personally get my leather from wickett and craig. The vegtan they have on special (although the price went up alot) is still really good leather and great to carve and stamp. I think one side is $97 so if you can afford that then you will have plenty to work with for a little while. They will split it down to 5oz or however thick you want for your projects. The nice thing about the above places is you can get shoulders and smaller cuts. Up to you. In my experience I have always been happy with every hide I have gotten from WandC. Quote
