Does anyone know a source for cordavan leather? Enough to make a glove?
-
I know I've read one on here in the past.
Sorry, but I can't remember the source even though I went there and looked at it.
Have you tried doing a search?
God bless, Mudd

Try local leather shops. They might have scraps laying around that they might sell for cheap.

Anyone that has cordovan will not sell it cheap. If you only need enogh to do the finger tips of a glove you should check with Don at Eagle Flight Archery (Sponser here). He has always helped me in getting some.

Thanks, I am looking at making the finger stalls out of the material, can use other leather for the rest.

I bought some square pieces of cordovan for making tabs at Tradmall.com a couple of years ago,not sure if he still selling them.

i just tried tradmall.com and got nothing.

You might try Siegal in California. I owe Killdeer a couple of butts right now so I'm not anxious to sell much more. I have more on order but it'll be another 6 weeks before it arrives. Cordovan varies widely in cost depending on the size and quality.

I just bought some "north of cordovan" 6oz leather from Brettuns Village in Maine. It might be a bit thick for what you want. I used it for tabs. Cordovan comes from the back hakf of the butt, this stuff is the half in front of that on the haunch. Hence they call it north of.
