Hi all,
Now I am very much a tinkerer and builder of stuff and I was thinking that I would like to make my own quiver, arm guard and maybe a tab too.
My question lies with the fact that I know absolutely nothing about thickness or types of leather that could be used and where to get it...
Would I need to get some 1mm / 2mm PET plastic for a structure and then cover the structure with thin leather if it is easier to find / cheaper? Or is there a thicker leather that can be bought from somewhere that would not need the plastic inner?
I have found some very detailed "How-to's" online, but none really explain the type / thickness of leather being used, or where to get it in the UK? I did find some leather over on fleabay, but I have no real idea about thickness or types. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?
Cheers,
Dave.
