metroplexchl Report post Posted September 8, 2016 We have a high quality top grain leather chair that we're about to replace. I am new to leather working and am always looking for some new material to work with. Anyone ever reused leather from an old chair? Anyone advise against this for some reason? thanks, chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Northmount Report post Posted September 9, 2016 People are recovering leather from purses, jackets, and such to make wallets, coin purses, etc. Many people are using upholstery type leathers (new) for similar purposes. So why not re-purpose for items you wish to make. Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tugadude Report post Posted September 9, 2016 Sure, repurpose it! Make a purse, Dopp kit, whatever. I took an old leather jacket and made two purses, no problem. Gave one to my youngest daughter and one to my wife. They love them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
metroplexchl Report post Posted September 9, 2016 Thanks folks! I didn't know if they do something during the upholsterying of a chair that ruins it in some way. Like i said I'm new..... :-) TGIF amigos! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
