Members huns Posted August 20, 2015 Author Members Report Posted August 20, 2015 Thanks for sharing Huns. If you don't mind, may I know what leather and the thickness did you use? Thanks. This leather is called BUTTERO from Italy. I used 2.8~3 thickness, thicker is better. Quote

On projects where you need to skive the edges, do you skive them by hand or do you have a skiving machine? Judging by the rest of your awesome work, I am guessing it is by hand, but was curious about that... Edited August 20, 2015 by 25b Quote

Members thefanninator Posted August 20, 2015 Members Report Posted August 20, 2015 Are these fine leathers you use available at a leather store there or do you order direct from the tannery? Quote http://www.instagram.com/fannintexas/
Members 25b Posted August 20, 2015 Members Report Posted August 20, 2015 I use NIPPY old model. I've heard those are great if you can find one for sale... I really appreciate your sharing your knowledge with us here...the only way to get better (in my opinion) is to learn from others that are clearly better than I am...which is definitely the case here...
