I went looking for leather scraps today to make striking buttons for the chisel hands I'm working on.
What I found is a rather bewildering variety of stuff, all called leather:
I assume I need to use something that's relatively hard, but I can't even figure that out.
- different thicknesses
- different processing
- different animals
- different parts of the same animal
- raw vs tanned hides
- etc.
HELP!
