Proper Leather Casing

Leather: www.buckleguy....
In this week's video I touch on some tooling leathers I personally like to use, and some, not so much.
From there, I'll fully explain the casing method I use that I have found that works best for me.

where do you get your herman oak from? Also Love your work, never tooled leather but have started because of your videos!

[@dadhands]

That’s so awesome to hear! Thank you so much! I get mine from Buckskin Leather (I’m in canada). Loads of suppliers sell it though ☺️

You said at the beginning that you don't use a lot of belly leather for tooling. Does that mean it's also bad to practice with for beginners?

[@dadhands]

Not at all, it’s great for practice. The grain is just stretchier and looser, therefore the finished piece will stretch out and distort quicker. I think it’s a fantastic option for practicing, it’s generally much lower in price than shoulders ☺️

@@dadhands ok thank you! I was worried that I bought my mom the wrong stuff to practice with. She's not really making things, just carving and drawing on

[@dadhands]

@@dougmulle2627 that sounds wonderful ☺️ I’d love to see what she’s working on sometime!

It doesn't need to be any more complicated than that, eh? 👍

[@dadhands]

Easy breezy ☺️
