Leather Selection
This project is very verastile when it comes to the type of leather you can use. We used some “B” grade natural vegetable tanned leather from Tandy Leather. The weight is 4oz to 5oz. You can go thicker or thinner with your leather just make sure the snap posts are the correct length to match.
