I went to the store in Bloomington, MN.  It's pretty local to me, as well as one other.  Both are within 20 minutes drive time.

I'm looking at a 3 hour drive or more to either one, plus almost an hour crossing Atlanta.

Yikes, that's a haul!!!  If you could combo the trip onto another venture maybe it would be worth it.  I'm not sure I'd be up for that drive.

Been a few years, but I've been to both of those.  Both pretty small stores - always wondered why they were so close together but sold / stocked the same items.  Must be quite a few hobby folks in that area.

I would suspect so, there are a few hobby lobby stores around as well.

That's what I'm saying! I go to Newnan about every 3 months. That is about a 2.5 hour drive. I have folks out in Athens, and it is about another 3 hours from Newnan, with Atlanta smack in the middle. I'm not likely to make that trip very often, unless it is at gunpoint.

Which Store? I've been to the West side store once, because it was on the way (sort of) from Newnan to Athens, and I could try to skirt Atlanta... which is a biggy for me. I hate going through that place!

I go to the store at Peachtree Corners area, Northeast of the city.  It is about an hour drive for me.

Just got a Euro bend (right before the sale, of course...derp) and, after selecting through the stack available, found a VERY clean piece. Compared directly to some A HO that I had on hand, it's paler, cleaner and has a better suede side.

Got mine today.  It looks good.  Clean and smooth flesh side (like Larry said).  On the grain side there is about an inch on one side that is slightly darker and two perfectly round holes on the other edge ... weird.  But it looks like really nice leather.

I've never bought the euro bend. But I did notice most of the have man made holes. Must be part of the tanning process.
