mojave Report post Posted March 15, 2017 Good day all, What are some of the things to look for when selecting hides? I won't to go to the store and pick out my leather. I have always ordered over the phone and lately received not bad, but fair leather. The edges are hard and dry, and sometimes a little stiff. This doesn't happen a lot, but don't like sending it back hand having to wait another few weeks for a new delivery. I do understand about bites, cuts, etc., its the quality of the leather its self. I make plain holsters, gun belts and wallets for now. I am teaching myself how to carve, using Billy Hell's post "25 Rounders. Thanks Howard Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
