I teach fifth grade in a low income school. In past years I have made from 60 to 70 knives a year. This meant that I had plenty of leather scraps left over from all the sheaths that I made. This year I didn't make as many knives therefore don't have as many leftover leather pieces.
I have always taken the leather scraps I have to school and let the children use them in leathercraft projects. I have a large assortment of leather tools and leather stamps, at school for the students to use.
Tandy leather sells pieces of leather for this, but they are expensive for my students.
If anyone has some leftover pieces from sheath making that would be suitable for this type of leather craft, e-mail me and I will be glad to pay your postage and my students will appreciate the donation.
The leather scraps should be from 5-10 oz in thickness and should be tooling leather.
Thanks, Tom Lewis
 
Tom:
E-mail me your address. I have a leather shop in town and can get scrap pieces for next to nothing. Will ship at my own expense for the kids.

Thanks so much to both of you. The kids will really appreciate your kindness. Tom Lewis

Ditto if you give me a addy and rough usable size ill be happy to help.
i usually have a fair amount of scrap around from sheathmaking
 
Thank you all for your kind offers. If everyone listed above sends me some leather scraps my class should be in good shape for next year, and thats all I will need at this time.
I have found knifemakers to be a generous group and all these offers prove that. Thanks. Tom
