Leather Selection Suggestions
In this video we used 3-4oz Wickett & Craig Harness leather in color Buck Brown. In the “finished case examples” we used 3oz (1.4mm) Pueblo leather in color Walnut. We suggest you stay in the 3-4oz (1.2mm – 1.4mm) range for this project. Especially if you’re working on the double deck pattern. The thicker the leather the tighter the fit will be.
