Here
you will find links to our finished handmade
leather goods as well as our personal favorite suppliers. At our
art shows, customers often tell us there is nowhere to get supplies
since Tandy shut the doors to their retail stores. This simply is not
true. You can still order from the Tandy warehouse via their website;
however, Tandy has been bought by The Leather Factory, and the quality
of most "craftool" tools is miles away from what Tandy used
to offer. We have a Leather Factory warehouse in driving distance of
our house. We buy our Fiebing's dyes and finishes there to avoid Hazardous
Materials shipping charges. We also buy our 2/3 oz. and 3/4 oz hides
at Leather Factory. The tannery we use does not go thinner than 4/5
oz. It is nice to be able to hand select these hides as they are imports
and the quality of individual hides can vary drastically. Below are
our links to our personal favorite suppliers of quality hardware, tools,
machinery, and other supplies. |
