cardinal leather Report post Posted November 30, 2021 wicket and craig will split them for you, they charge a little extra. if you are looking for a flat cut of say, 8 oz make sure they understand it is 8 oz. the last 2 that i got from them were to be 7 oz and they came in as 6.5 oz. Since they do not accept returns on splits i used them, my customer was not thrilled but accepted them as leashes. mistakes happen but the sales folks should know if their machines are off and a half oz on a 7 oz split is a fair amount.

I want to get a half hide or so of 2-3 oz to use as lining. If the splitting cost is low enough, I would save money by having a thick hide split, rather than buying a thin hide. Being able to use the split for projects is a big incentive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
