Leather for sheaths near Leeds?

[Juggernaut]

I was wondering if there is anywhere near Leeds or York that sell leather leather for sheath making and the like?

Anywhere that people reccomend.


Cheers

There is somewhere but I lost the details. The chap who runs aardvark archery gave them to me. Not much help I know. But I tend to get my stuff from Clayton's tannery or the identity store when I'm down in chesterfield. Or the odd weird bargain off eBay.

Hi Luke,

This is who I use..........http://www.jwoodleathers.co.uk/contact.html

But I tend to drive over and hand pick my leather, they only really sell full shoulders/butts (10 - 20 Sq-ft) etc' not small amounts and they don't cut hides. If you only want a small amount try Ebay?

There is a couple of tannery's in Leeds but the only produce leather for the shoe/bag industry. I've been told there's a stall on York market that sell leather but I've not ventured there.

Ok thanks guys, I'd seen some on eBay but wasn't sure if like you say Rich, if there was somewhere that I could get say 24"x24" by.

I'll get some off eBay I dot think I'm too ready for a whole shoulder just yet lol

Cheers fellas
