So a general question, the leather used for straps, is it the same as the leather used in upholstery, or does it have to be treated differently before it's usable.
Only I have some leather that's going spare and figure I would give it a go at some point, but also i might chuck some out to guys on here to give it a better home for a donation to the fund raiser if it's any good to anyone.
I will get a photo up of the colour, thickness all that stuff if it's needed.
Be interested to see what you’ve got ... the stuff I started out on for making straps as remnants could probably be defined as ‘finest carseat’.. far too soft and rather unpleasant to wear. Whilst I don’t know if that’s the same sort as you have - I suspect most of that ilk had been treated with some protecting type spray/plasticiser.. plain old fresh from the tannery horse/cow seems to work ok.
... what is it you’ve got..? :-)

It's a hide from a sofa, that never got used, so sat in storage before getting marked for the skip.
To the best of my knowledge other than the Color this is untreated, I will get photos up.
Pm me for photos as I can't seem to do anything to get them on here.
