Sheath Leather?

[Bobby Urban]

Anyone have an overload and want to trade for arrows, knife, cash?  Or a list of your favorite places to get it?  It is coming onto knife making season for me as I like good winter projects and want to be sure to get into the swap again this year if we do that.  If this is inapropriate for this forum I appologize.  Just felt it may gain more inpute here than in the buy/sell forum.  Feel free to delete mods.

Thanks for any help - Bob Urban

Bob - Here in Wa State, we have periodic gun shows;  usually someone shows up with bundles of leather to sell.  He gets the leather from boot factories, the left-over stuff they don't use.  The sheets of leather are around 15" x 30" and bundled up into about 15 pound lots - sells them for around 20 - 30 dollars each.  Some is dyed black, brown, light tan, etc.  Why don't you see if there is a place near you where you can get some?  Cheaper'n Tandy, good leather too.    sourowl

Tandy just had a sale that ended yesterday with a really good price on 9-10 oz. leather at $2.99/sq. ft.  It's usually $7.99.  I ordered a piece that'll be 12-13 sq. ft.  How much do you need?

???  Just want to have some more to make a few sheaths out of.  I have a little but hate to run out and have a knife waiting for it.  3-4sq?

I use to get leather from brettuns village trunks and leather. it was all scrap and 4 ounce in weight but some good size pieces. I think it was 10 pounds for 40 dollars. You might check them out, Churchill is a pretty nice guy.
