Members tonymcvay Posted August 30, 2013 Members Report Posted August 30, 2013 (edited) Got this for an excellent price. Now question is what am I going to make. Suggestions??? Haven't worked with any exotics yet or done any inlays. I guess there is only one way to learn. Edited August 30, 2013 by tonymcvay Quote
Members WScott Posted August 30, 2013 Members Report Posted August 30, 2013 Cool stuff Looks better than the reproductions Quote
Members GrampaJoel Posted August 30, 2013 Members Report Posted August 30, 2013 That is one fine looking skin! Hand bag? I guess it would depend upon how big it is. So how big is it? Sq. ft.? How thick? It looks pretty supple. Joel Quote
Members jessebeckham Posted August 30, 2013 Members Report Posted August 30, 2013 Luck you, I've been wanting to get ahold of some ostrich leather myself. could always make a nice narrow dress belt. Wallet, magnet money clips, something small to get an idea of how workable it is.. Quote
Members FlHobbyist Posted August 30, 2013 Members Report Posted August 30, 2013 Congrats on getting the ostrich. There are a world of things you can do once you learn to handle it, and decide how you're going to do your edges. Quote
Members tonymcvay Posted August 30, 2013 Author Members Report Posted August 30, 2013 This piece measured out at 16 sq. ft. I would say it is somewhere between 2 to 4 oz. but will have to measure it to know exactly. Quote
Members LeeTy Leathers Posted August 30, 2013 Members Report Posted August 30, 2013 Wallet....In fact I could use a new one..... Quote
Members tonymcvay Posted August 30, 2013 Author Members Report Posted August 30, 2013 It will definitely be making a wallet. There are so many different sections and grain patterns to work with in this. Almost going to be hard to make that first cut. Almost being the key word. Quote
Members zoomer56 Posted August 30, 2013 Members Report Posted August 30, 2013 Nice, I have never seen a full skin like that. Boots come to mind. But maybe a wallet with an Ostrich inlay. Quote
Members goodfella Posted September 1, 2013 Members Report Posted September 1, 2013 Nice, I have never seen a full skin like that. Boots come to mind.
