KAYAK45 Report post Posted September 23, 2012 I'm Sure Paul and Paul will smile and remember. I TRIED to skive my back panels yesterday for my first pair of boots, from buffalo from GN Leathers. Great, perfect leather! It did not go well! Well..today I cut some new panels. GOOD NEWS. Luck has it I have plenty of hide,... this time. From now on I will PRACTICE SKIVING on the scrap from cutting, BEFORE I attack my real panels! Seems every leather skives different. Again you can smile. You already know that. Looks like my wife gets her FIRST pair of short topped boots also, now. I think she will have Black buffalo Tops! Maybe with some tan vamps. Nice color combination, don't you think?

DoubleC Report post Posted September 23, 2012 Kevin I think the most valuable thing I've learned working with leather, even though I've just been doing it for about a year now, is there are no mistakes. What you get sometimes is very cool although slightly different than you expected products :-) I have a lot of cool and slightly different things here around the house :-) Cheryl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
