Members Jimbob Posted July 14, 2011 Members Report Posted July 14, 2011 Been looking all over the place for 2-3 oz tooling sides, veg tan....seems nobody has them...or they charge ( hold on to your chair...!!!) about 7.50 for a sf....in Montana....haha... So, I am a bit tide....and also do not need "A" quality, tannery run would be fine.....seems like there is not much out there....in this thin 2-3 oz...?! Has anybody a good source for esonable prized 2-3 oz tooling leather in natural color...? I use this for custom bike seat's...the skirt part..... Thanks so much James Quote http://www.elfwood.com/~alien883 First it is just leather....then it is what-ever I can dream off...

The other is presumably a harder temper. Quote Mike DeLoach Esse Quam Videri (Be rather than Seem) "Don't learn the tricks of the trade.....Learn the trade."

King's X Posted July 27, 2011 Report Posted July 27, 2011 If you call Wickett & Craig and/or Hermann Oak, they will usually skive your leather down to your desired ounce if you request it. Quote Greetings from Central Texas! The Grain Side Up blog #TheGrainSideUp

Scary Leatherworks Posted July 28, 2011 Report Posted July 28, 2011 Tandy's thin veg tan is usually under "lining leather" Quote
Members hardtimes Posted July 28, 2011 Members Report Posted July 28, 2011 That is what I was referring to. I was able to go and look at them, pretty decent. I saw no brands or wrinkles, a few knife holes but nothing major. Quote Times are Hard

Members Jimbob Posted July 30, 2011 Author Members Report Posted July 30, 2011 Thanks for all the info.....most of the leads are more than I can afford for 2-3 oz leather.....but over all leather has gotten so terrible expensive since 2 years ago....no fun in buying leather any more...!! And then there is Tandy, low quality....no good service and the guy on the phone has no clue what he is talking about... Well, I called Tandy in desperation....seems like they have some 2-3 oz on sale and the dude said it is fairly well quality.......so guess what, I will jump the gun and try Tandy's....we will see... I keep ya all posted!! Thanks Jimbob Quote http://www.elfwood.com/~alien883 First it is just leather....then it is what-ever I can dream off...

That's too bad. I have always had a good experience when I call or go to the Tandy near Boston, Lubbock Tx and Santa Fe NM. Quote
Members Venek Tostun Posted March 16, 2012 Members Report Posted March 16, 2012 It really depends on which one you go to. Quote
Members DoubleC Posted March 17, 2012 Members Report Posted March 17, 2012 I use a lot of Tandy products. Not their leather though because there are other options (how many places can ya get eco-flo or water based products?) because I will quit leatherworking altogether before i buy Chinese leather. I don't understand them, have to be the biggest leather supply company in the US and not one USA product? Quote http://www.etsy.com/shop/DoubleCCowgirl
