Whats Your Preffered Tooling Leather?

Put me down for HO from Springfield. And, if there's ever a problem, I know Kevin and the girls will be there to take care of it.

Paul - I'm using W&C's Tooling/Holster/Carving leather that comes in 8-10 oz thickness. When I asked the sales lady about their Russet 8-10 oz skirting leather, she said its not drum dyed so the color is only on the surface.

Bluesman, I don't know if it's the light, or my monitor, but that side looks the same color as my russet side. What grade is that? It looks very nice and clean.

Eric (I called you Adam on my last post...oops) I'll have to get some side by side pics of my W&C russet skirting next to some HO I have left over. I also have an HO holster that I left natural and simply oiled, along with some W&C russet pieces that I oiled, one with EVOO and one with neatsfoot. I'll get some pics of those as well.
