[Marshal Will Wingam]

We have some more information that I'm copying from another thread. Thanks for the input, Stitch.

Take heed though ... There is a HUGE diference between USA OAK tanned leather
and "Other Countries" Veg tanned leather ....
Myself I use only Wickett & Craig Oak skirting ..Always have, Always will
The quality is worth the price.

Stitch,
 If I ever get good enough to put things on the market and sell them, I will try the good stuff. But my lifes sisutation won't allow me to pay for the Best.
thank you so much for the Reply!

Ace,
We all start out small, Never sell yourself short, Never limit yourself
Reach for the sky, it's there to be grasped ... don't say "If I get to the point"
Think "WHEN I get to the point"
One thing I've learned in 20+ years in this trade is that some stuff I absolutly hate..
My customers absolutly love.
A full side of good Oak tanned skirting in any weight you want can be gotten from Wickett & Craig
for around $135. or so ... It's a good investment.

I went yo the Wickett & Craig web site, they state on small orders to go to The Tannery Warehouse,
does this place have a web site? I looked but I did not find it!
 If anyone has this info, I would like to have it!
Thanks ACE

yep and until the end of the month they have their tooling/holster sides (avg 24-27 sq ft) for a flat $90.00 and their tooling/holster double shoulders (avg 12-14 sq ft) for a flat $50.00 bucks - both are plus shipping which runs about $10-15.00 depending on weight and distance..............

I just "discovered" The Hide House, 870 W. Cienega Ave #7, San Dimas, CA 91773, (866) 527-5467.

It's better that anyplace I've found around here.  LOTS of stuff; Hides, hair on hides, tools, hardware, conchos, chemicals, every thing you can imagine.  Lots of biker and kitchen crafts stuff, too.  Full tanned buffalo hides, full buff robes with the hair on, things I never heard of.



Their catalog is like a Christmas wish book.

Between them and Crazy Crow I may never lack for anything again.

Ask For Rich Phelps and tell him I sent you.  He says if they don't have it they can try to get it for you.

I only use Wickett and Cragg. Glen is great to deal with. KT

I have had a lot of luck with Tandy, never a bad piece, like Klondike, I like to hand pick my goods.

I have some leather in stock, gotta get a project going.
