Leather Selection Suggestions
For this build we used Sunset Oil Tan (4 oz) from Thoroughbred Leather. As mentioned in the video you need to contact the Thoroughbred rep directly to order since they dont have a website. You need to e-mail Mark Coxon and ask for the latest price list. You can see a nice range of offering on Marks Instagram feed.
Whatever you decide on I suggest using leather in 3/4 or 4/5 oz range at most.
