Members DavidL Posted November 29, 2015 Members Report Posted November 29, 2015 Making a leather leash for instance obviously requires the most strength. Which would be stronger (cut from strongest part of hide) 10 ounce leather two pieces of 5 ounce leather stitched and glued. Why I ask is because there is two grain sides versus with two 5 ounce pieces. This option does have a stitch and contact cement. It does seem that if one piece drys out the other is not affected.
