Need Black Ostrich

[camano ridge]

I have an order for a holster and the customer wants black Ostrich inlay. Anyone know where I can buy Small pieces. I need about 6" by 6" would buy up to a square foot and willing to pay per sq ft market price just don't want to buy a whole hide for 3-400.00. Need Ostrich skin with folicles not leg skin. Springfield does not cut ostrich they sell only whole skins. They do have an ostrich scrap bag but can't guarantee there is anything big enough.

Call up Springfield and talk to one of the girls. A couple weeks ago they had large ostrich "scraps" available for a reasonable price. They dont always list everything they have on their website.

Plus I bought this one time and it had some nice usable pieces in it along with some trash.

Thanks, Shooter I had already called Springfield they could not help me out thats why I posted here. I did order one of the scrap bags but they could not guarantee there would be a large enough piece or that there would even be black in the bag.

You can get some smaller hides on ebay for around 200 bucks. The guy that sells them is in Israel.

Probably not going to be any black in the bag, but thats what dye is for?
