Members Striver Posted February 21, 2013 Members Report Posted February 21, 2013 Hello all I am so glad to be here. I have a question. I am new to leatherwork and am going to start making Hand Stitched Dog Collars. My question is: What is the best leather to use so I can tool, dye, and accessories and where would you reccomend getting it. I would like to have it already cut into strips at various widths. Also what weight lambskin liner would you reccomend getting. Going to be using 2 D rings opposite each other. Any guidance will be greatly appreciated. Quote
Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted February 21, 2013 Contributing Member Report Posted February 21, 2013 CALL Springfield Leather and tell them what you want to do. We can certainly help you by saying things like : Use 8oz veg tan, 2oz liner leather, and get solid welded d-rings wherever you can..... But unless you already know what that means, you could lose some of it in the translation. Quote
