Members everythingslower Posted June 12, 2012 Members Report Posted June 12, 2012 I will be travelling to Sydney & Melbourne for holiday in August, am hoping to visit stores selling leather and tools in either city. I'm looking to buy veg-tanned leather, as well as gold coloured leather (is this available), and perhaps a few tools and hardware like U-gouge. I did some research in this forum and gathered the following few stores recommended here: NSW Leather Co, Birdsall Leather and Leffler. Are there any other recommendations? The thing is, I understand most shops sell whole pieces of leather, but I'm looking to smaller portioned pieces, like maybe 3-5 sq feet of gold leather, half a piece of veg-tan etc. Does any of the shops stated above sell in smaller pieces (not scraps)?

Members Anacott Steel Posted June 12, 2012 Members Report Posted June 12, 2012 In Sydney, Birdsalls will cut you a smaller piece. Contact Tracy http://birdsall-leather.com.au/home.php to ask them directly. I'm not sure whether NSW Leather co will. Birdsalls sells tools etc, NSW Leather co only sells leather - no tools. Both are located east of Sydney, about 6ks apart so you could check both out. Just a heads up that NSW leather co isn't open on weekends. Tandy leather factory has opened a store, but it's in Minto - around 60ks from Sydney CBD. Hope you enjoy OZ. Quote
