Title says it. Trying to find legit Florida Burmese python leather. I’m a native Floridian and would like to help contribute to the cause of removing these invasive snakes while also making cool leather things. I’m not entirely sure what is a decent price for the skins as well so that info would help too. Thanks!

Hey everyone stupid question but what type of leather do you use for basic projects like cheap wallets, book covers, bracelets and so on.

Also what's a good place to get it?

Thanks 🙂

I'm getting started on some leather boots and I'm interested in finding a good sewing machine.

i have these shoes that were once white then badly painted by cobbler then i needed to remove the paint but now they have oxidized in parts. any ideas on how to fix it? aniline leather

hi, so I need serious help because it really makes me crazy haha:

I’ve ordered these new steve madden real-leather boots twice, one pair in size 8.5 (39) and one in 9 (40). my usual size in shoes is 8.5 I’d say, few years ago even 7.5. now I don’t know what size to pick and the following is my problem:

the smaller size does fits better on the foot but the larger size fits better on the calves (my calves are not super skinny). the website says if unsure about sizing you should size up, but I don’t even know what my regular size is when I sometimes have 8.5 and sometimes 7.5. I’m always hearing that leather stretches naturally and you should rather keep those who are „snug“, so that confuses me too. also I have two different feet, my right foot is a bit larger than the left one.

my questions are:

1. how much can leather be stretched on the shaft? is 1-2cm realistic? (I could bring them to a local cobbler for that) - because then I’d tend to keep the smaller ones.
2. what size should I keep? both shoes have pros and cons and they don’t sell this shoe in half sizes unfortunately.

I’d be forever grateful for anyone who could help me out with this, because I’m thinking about that for 5 days straight now and I don’t know what to do

Had this sofa for 4 years and specially the last 2 years as we have a toddler it has been through a rough time. Wondering what’s the best way to get it back to life and remove water stains or stains at all?

Hi! With Christmas approaching, I’d love to get my boyfriend some leatherworking gear. He’s mentioned before that he used to do it and wants to get back into it, but I’m not sure where to find the right supplies. I obviously can’t ask him directly, since that would spoil the surprise. Any advice or recommendations would be really appreciated!

I purchased this bag from a guy on the classifieds a few years back and have used it lovingly ever since. On a road trip this weekend the oil that you see dripped all over it in my trunk for a few hours.

I realize that there’s no cleaning it, but is there any saving it? Can I just wait for the oil to dry and then accept it as an accent splotch and keep using it for clothes?

I just made my second belt and it is wrinkling in a way my first belt didn’t. Both were made from veg tan and dyed. The only difference is that I added Tan-Kote to this one to prevent rub-off. Is that what is causing this? How can I prevent this?
