For those of you that work with exotics.

[Omega Leather Works]

I've really enjoyed working with snake skin. My intention from the beginning was to do a lot of exotic leather work, and it is still a primary goal, but I need some advice.

1. I'd like to know, which exotics do you find most popular with customers?

2. What are the best overlay exotics (durable)?

I'm getting ready to order more exotic skins and I was thinking about trying croc, shark, sting ray, or maybe beaver tail. I like the look of beaver quite a bit, but it doesn't seem very popular.

3. Any color preferences?

4. Any exotics that you've found difficult to work with, stitch (hand), or finish?

Thanks guys. As always, all opinions and views are appreciated.
