One of our most asked questions from people just getting started in leathercraft is “what leather should I buy or use for a specific project”? There are a lot of ways to go to answer this question, so we took seven basic projects and Chuck breaks down the leather to two options that will work nicely for each project. We hope this helps answer some of your questions and makes it easier to pick the perfect leather for your project.

Hi Chuck,
I love the leather element! Any chance you could do one about painting with Angelus leather paints. I’m always scared to put paint on something that took hours to tool….but I do like the look of a little color.
Also, will you be teaching at Sheridan this year?
Thanks,
Barb Otto
Hi Barb,
Chuck will be doing a filigree cut pouch class at Sheridan!
We will definitely mention it to him about doing a video on the Angelus paint for you.
Thank you! I will want to take that class too.
Thank you, Barb! We look forward to seeing you!
