Strength Of Leather?

Recommended Posts

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.

Common sense tells me two layers glued and stitched. I would add nylon webbing in the center if you want ultimate strength.

Or polyester strap.....poly often has little or no stretch.
