electrathon Posted May 26, 2015 Report Posted May 26, 2015 Dinosaur leather would sell great as bags. It would have a great coolness factor (it would even work well for checked luggage, I doubt the airlines could damage it). Quote
Members billybopp Posted May 26, 2015 Members Report Posted May 26, 2015 If it's fossilized to stone, you might be able to use it for a ladies handbag. They wouldn't notice the weight difference that fossilization makes anyway. Bill Quote
Members LeatherLegion Posted May 26, 2015 Members Report Posted May 26, 2015 JREESER1 ...did you ripped me off brother ??? DoubleC seems to know what she is talking about. I will google it anyway just to make sure. Quote
Members DoubleC Posted May 26, 2015 Members Report Posted May 26, 2015 I got to thinking about it and I want some. Loved the way it looked on the collars. How much you charging a sq. ft? CHERYL Quote http://www.etsy.com/shop/DoubleCCowgirl
Members LeatherLegion Posted May 26, 2015 Members Report Posted May 26, 2015 Quick update : I just looked into this dinosaur leather and it's pretty much legit. The leather comes from a small , family owned dinosaur farm out of Arizona. and they have few distributors across US. I just got off the phone with one of the owners , Fred , which seems to be a very nice guy ....also very helpful and knowledgeable , and I was told that the dinosaurs are bred and raised executively for their hides as the meat tastes like chicken and nobody is interested He also said that next year is planning on getting few dragons for the same purpose . One of his distributors (Exotik Skins 'r us) also carries hair-on werewolf and gargoyle hides , unicorn shell cordovan and hopefully starting next month , he will stock mermaid skin tanned using pixie dust ...which should be great for card holders and such ... So...yeah...so much for "dips" DoubleC... Quote

Members DoubleC Posted May 26, 2015 Members Report Posted May 26, 2015 Ooooh I want some mermaid tanned with pixie dust. I need to make some pretty interiors. Did mr. Flintstone say when it would be ready? Does it come in colors? CHERYL Quote http://www.etsy.com/shop/DoubleCCowgirl
Members JREESER1 Posted May 27, 2015 Members Report Posted May 27, 2015 I'm having issues with keeping my tools sharp! Stropping is all I've been doing for 3 days. jr Quote
electrathon Posted May 27, 2015 Report Posted May 27, 2015 I'm having issues with keeping my tools sharp! Stropping is all I've been doing for 3 days. jr I have found dinosaur is like alligator crust. It cuts better on the bandsaw when you get to the crunchier parts. Hard to sew too when you get to that part. I converted my sewing machine to spin the needle in instead of just trying to push it. Quote
Members camano ridge Posted May 27, 2015 Members Report Posted May 27, 2015 If anyone knows were I can get some T Rex teeth for a knife handle to go with my Dino sheath, let me know. JREESER1, you are using the wrong materials. Stone tools work best on Dino leather. Quote https://www.facebook.com/CamanoRidgeCustomLeather?fref=ts
