Water then burnishing gum...and plenty of friction. Followed by beeswax.

District Leather Supply will split your pieces for you. They advertise 2/3 week turnaround on that

Am I wrong in assuming that I'll end up paying more when ordering from a supplier rather than direct from the tannery?

In any case, hopefully I like the brown color and the split belly will last me multiple sides. 2/3 week turn around only sucks when you're out of leather Time to have a fiddle with some of the 4-5oz hermann oak I have around.

Yep it's about the same price wise. I did notice a big difference in the cost of shipping though. Now this was some time ago and I haven't checked lately but the tannery's shipping was much more. Like a lot.

I meant to post this earlier this morning. Everyone should take a look see.

Ya bet guys. Friends with the tall saddle maker in the video, John Willasma. We've had 3 or 4 of his saddles over the years. Known him for quite a while, camped together at a show several years in a row, He's helped me over the years too with an occasional leather question. We've roped together too, at a branding and in several competitions.

I found that video just a couple of days ago. Don't have anymore but if I find one I'll post it.
