Members Ed in Tx Posted July 20, 2013 Members Report Posted July 20, 2013 Milled leather is a soft texture and very flexible, not what you want for anything you will be forming. Why order from Tandy now? Springfield has Hermann Oak bellies for about $25 you choice of weight. They also have deal on HO single shoulders. Warning though, once you us HO or any other higher quality leather you probably won't be back at Tandy. In order to get anything resembling decent leather from Tandy expect to pay more than $10 per sq. ft. Quote
