Calling All Katasses, It's Started

Lizard yes, and if that other stuff is shark, yes, as long as the rubber doesn't hang up on the sewing foot.

Stingray--that stuff is the problem, but you can cut it with tin snips and use it as an inlay piece behind a veg leather window. Sanding is NOT required unless there is an exposed edge. That stuff is sharp!

Well I just won't use that piece, or the few pieces I thought were frog, LOL. I won't use anything green, no wait, maybe I won't use anything, LOL. I got to get some sleep this year sometime

[WinterBear]

I didn't see any frog in those pictures?

[DoubleC]

I thought the green, orangy, white and black stripped was frog. I don't know any of these WinterBear. Seriously, i thought the big piece of brown was cow :-)

[WinterBear]

Nope. It's scaly, so not a frog. Frog has a really weird texture too, rubbery and usually warty. I don't see a thing in those pictures that's warty.

[DoubleC]

No remember something feeling rubbery, but nothing warty. Well this is cool, as long as i stay away from the green, I can inlay up a storm. How fun is that? I am going to try and keep it subdued on this one though, was thinking maybe some of the burgundy/brownish lizard, easy to match up a dye or tooling and dye to that. The little piece of red is mine, all mine, LOL. Then again that snake would look good with vinegaroon. When I figure out a design then it'll be easier to pick because I liked the blacks too, well and, well anyway I just think it's going to be fun. I have an antiqued SP 3 piece belt buckle set for it too. I still have some of that off white calf-skin from way back when I can line it with where I put the foam. Using that, and vinegaroon and the black/white snake and silver trim would look pretty sharp if i could figure out what to do with the thin strap. Maybe make blue slit snake eyes from the blue lizard and dye it blue. NOT. something else, LOL.

Most of it is lizard and striped is printed lizard the brown I believe is elephant. Do you have any interest in selling the piece of red lizard?

[DoubleC]

If you read above I said....

But I don't mind helping someone out because so many people have helped me. And I'm sure there will be more red lizard down the line. I have no idea what it's worth so just PM me with an offer and your address. Or if you need a bigger piece you could call SLC and they'll get you one I'm sure, those folks are great to work with.

I agree with Winterbear. It is all lizzard with three exceptions.

The first picture of brown leather is elephant. I had a pair of boots made out of elephant once. It is very durable leather.

The black and white striped stuff looks like stingray. It is hard to be certain without handling it.

I wish I knew snakes better so I could tell you what kind of snake that is from.

I am attaching pics of stingray (black), frog (brown) and shark (brown).

Hope this helps

[DoubleC]

That's a great help, thanks so much. I know which picture is the shark I'm almost certain because it felt sharp handling it. Or is it the stingray that's sharp? Now I've confused myself all over again, but intend to copy and paste all of this before I start anyway. I think this is going to be so much fun, especially with all of you being so much help. Cheryl
