Members GamberLeathercrafter Posted April 3, 2014 Members Report Posted April 3, 2014 I'm looking for water buffalo hides in a brown and about 4/5 oz, can anyone help me with finding this? Quote
Members WinterBear Posted April 3, 2014 Members Report Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) That might be a hard weight to find. You may have to get something thinner and bond it to something to get your correct weight? Leatherguy has some Cape Buffalo (not waterbuffalo, but similar species) with an embossed pattern in a rosewood color in 3-4 oz. http://www.theleatherguy.org/BISON-BUFFALO-LEATHER-143933/Cape-Buffalo-147296.aspx Hide House has a pull-up waterbuffalo in brown in a 2.5-3 oz weight. https://hidehouse.com/products/index.html?Category=UW Zack White has some waterbuffalo, but it seems to be in the 8-9 oz range, and I don't know if they'll split the leather to something thinner.

Members Glendon Posted April 4, 2014 Members Report Posted April 4, 2014 Waterhouse Leather has water buffalo. Most of it is thicker, but they will split on request. Quote
Members johnv474 Posted April 4, 2014 Members Report Posted April 4, 2014 Landwerlen Leather Co. in Indianapolis carries water buffalo. From what I've seen, it was 8+ oz., but they may be able to split it. This is an old-time shop that does not have a Web presence; you will need to call, but they are great to work with. -JV474 Quote
