Would this be something for the strapmakers?
5,5cm wide x 35cm long x 1mm thick
I sent a few to Blueradish and he said something I don't understand completely, so ask him or let me know if you already know.
I have at least 25 of these and will post in sales if it is useful. It will be cheap!

Did he say if it was veg tan, semi veg tan or chrome tan leather? The second one is not the best for straps.Yoda wrote: ↑August 20th, 2018, 1:40 pm Would this be something for the strapmakers?

Re: I don't know, that's why I ask
Hi, Michael,
How rigid is the leather - is it soft enough to end up as a strap, or is it better suited as something structural like a on a box or case? I like the color...

Re: I don't know, that's why I ask
I'm out of town, but I believe it was a thinner veg tan. Def needs some aging, dying or oil treatment. Correct me M, but i think you said you had some thick and some thinner pieces. I got the thin one's, nice to work with. Will work well, it's sturdy, but not meant for boxes or cases. Definitely for straps. Great pieces for experimentation with aging and vintage process.

That's right Blue, some of them are a little thinner and some are thicker, the thickest is 1mm.

To me it seems suited for straps, but it has to be treated as Blue pointed out. They all have a nice even color and structure.TicTocTach wrote: ↑August 20th, 2018, 6:46 pm Hi, Michael,

Thickness varies, some are 0,5-0,6mm and the thickest is 1mm. Thickness and structure is even throughout every piece.
I have 25-28 single pieces.
