Thank you Betty. And the smell of the leather is just overwhelming too.

Whats the max thickness you think leather can be and still be a turned bag?

[@vikingleathercrafts3094]

It really depends on how pliable the leather is. But from what I have worked with so far, a 6-7 ounce is tough enough in a chrome tanned leather. A harder tempered vegetable tanned max would be a 4-5 ounce. But again it all depends on the pliability of the leather. And your decision to wet the leather or not. I don’t wet the leather. I just put these gorilla arms and hands to work. Thanks for your question.
