I think that 4 to 5 sq ft would last me quite awhile. I use a lot but they are almost all 2-3" squares for buffing, antique-ing,etc.

thank you all for the information.Now- does anyone want to sell/send me some scraps!

kowboyboots- thanks for the ebay information but I can't see paying $10.00 shipping on a pound of scraps even though the bid was $1.99 when I last looked.

Luke- you are close by- want to sell some scrap and send it ground? or maybe someone in Arkansas

(Harrison, hint hint?)

You're gonna pay at least $6 shipping no matter where you buy it unless you go pick it up yourself.

Pete,

For what it is worth, I packed a leaf bag full down into a box pretty tight. It weighed 13# with the box and shipped Priority for about $24.00. It was only about $1.50 less to ship Parcel Post. I am officially out of scraps for now.

Would sheepskin be good for lining knife sheaths? If so, I could use a boat load of 6" square size.

THANKS!!

I should think it would add substantial bulk. The stuff I use is close to an inch thick pile. The skin is about 1/16 plus thick, maybe twice that in places and fairly firm. Of course, you could soften it up and cut the wool down with shears. But the idea is an interesting one. It is used to line rifle scabbards, of course. It does compact down with use on a saddle, and being wool, it wicks moisture so that might be a good thing to line a knife sheath with.
