Anyone have an overload and want to trade for arrows, knife, cash? Or a list of your favorite places to get it? It is coming onto knife making season for me as I like good winter projects and want to be sure to get into the swap again this year if we do that. If this is inapropriate for this forum I appologize. Just felt it may gain more inpute here than in the buy/sell forum. Feel free to delete mods.
Thanks for any help - Bob Urban

Bob - Here in Wa State, we have periodic gun shows; usually someone shows up with bundles of leather to sell. He gets the leather from boot factories, the left-over stuff they don't use. The sheets of leather are around 15" x 30" and bundled up into about 15 pound lots - sells them for around 20 - 30 dollars each. Some is dyed black, brown, light tan, etc. Why don't you see if there is a place near you where you can get some? Cheaper'n Tandy, good leather too. sourowl

Tandy just had a sale that ended yesterday with a really good price on 9-10 oz. leather at $2.99/sq. ft. It's usually $7.99. I ordered a piece that'll be 12-13 sq. ft. How much do you need?

??? Just want to have some more to make a few sheaths out of. I have a little but hate to run out and have a knife waiting for it. 3-4sq?

I use to get leather from brettuns village trunks and leather. it was all scrap and 4 ounce in weight but some good size pieces. I think it was 10 pounds for 40 dollars. You might check them out, Churchill is a pretty nice guy.
