Keyair Report post Posted November 29, 2013 New to this Leatherworking and forum so didn't know where to post my question... Want to find out where you can get inexpensive pieces of leather of different types and thicknesses for practice and small projects? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TXAG Report post Posted November 29, 2013 (edited) My local farmers' CoOp sells bundles of scrap leather for repairs of tack...might try somewhere like that. Hobby Lobby carries a very small selection of small pieces of leather, but it is very overpriced in my opinion.

chiefjason Report post Posted November 30, 2013 Springfield usually has some craftsman grade or other deals on leather. Scroll down to "Special Purchases." At this point, I just grab it out of a box. I've got a bunch. I like Hobby Lobby over all the big craft stores. But those grab bags have a lot of chrome tanned leather in them. That is a problem for certain things like holsters and sheaths.

SteelcityK9Cop Report post Posted November 30, 2013 Springfield will sell you a 5 or 10 pound box of "scraps" for a real nice price.. they come in various weights and sizes. Great to practice cutting, sewing burnishing, tooling,,,, you name it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
