My hide supplier has recently started a new line of slightly thicker cow hides 3.5 - 4.0 mm thick. This extra weight is great for moulded armour, giving that little extra stiffness and solidity. It means I'll need to buy in more hides as this is just a little too heavy for belts, but it is going to be worth it for the extra quality.

I've decided to start a blog as it's a lot easier to update than the 'New' page on the main web site, plus I can do a few more things he. I've also wanted to talk about leather, tools and the craft for a long time, and the blog is a good place to start this, and for people to easily add comments. |
