Contributing Member JLSleather Posted March 4, 2015 Contributing Member Report Posted March 4, 2015 Cleaning up time around here again. One day, I'll be smarter, and I'll do it BEFORE tax time inventory! Anyway, I have some 1 1/2" wide strips of Hermann Oak tooling leather in 6/7 and 7/8 oz, along with some other irregular pieces that should get used. The belt strips are the same leather I use for the belts on the etsy site (link below), which are carved and then lined with either 2/3 or 3/4 oz lining. I see that SLC sells strips (don't know if they're even H.0.) and the "wholesale" price is $15. This seems extreme to me, since I can buy B-grade backs (no belly leather) and cut my own for more like $10. Any interest, lemme know what you need and how long - I think most of these strips wil be in the 45-55" range. I do want to clean out around here, but largely the idea is to boost the 'new guy', so how 'bout we give the newcomer a shot at these. Buy a few, and I'll 'toss in' some 3/4 to line 'em with Oh, I like paypal - but I don't care for ebay, so ....

Contributing Member JLSleather Posted March 5, 2015 Author Contributing Member Report Posted March 5, 2015 (edited) Enough responses to this to post pics under here. There's actually a bit more than this, but this will give a fella the main idea. Tossin' in some 3/4 oz to line straps with, and there'll be a bit o W/C when I trim a couple hides, which goes if a guy kin use it. Good lookin' leather front and back. Oh -- tha's a 6' ruler and a 24" square ... so ... I flipped 'em over and wrote the length on some ... Edited March 5, 2015 by JLSleather
Members Troy Burch Posted March 5, 2015 Members Report Posted March 5, 2015 I'll buy some of your 1 1/2 inch straps that are 48" long or more. How much?
ChriJ Posted March 5, 2015 Report Posted March 5, 2015 Do we order on the Etsy site or let you know here?
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted March 5, 2015 Author Contributing Member Report Posted March 5, 2015 There's no "ordering" ta do, just a clean up where i thought I could see my space and a fella could git decent leather without a mortgage There is one fella spoke up earlier might want some, let's give 'im a chance to decide if he wants it
ChriJ Posted March 5, 2015 Report Posted March 5, 2015 Sounds good but I'd be interested in some if you have any left. It would be a good way for me to try to improve w/o spending a fortune. Thanks, Chris
