Been wanting to do this for a while and been too busy, well still too busy but going to get it started anyway.
I am always on the hunt for inlay materials, snake, lizard, animal skins, etc etc. If you have something special and want to trade it for leather work we can surely talk about it.
Here is what I have used and/or have on hand. I am having issues getting a hold of certain skins because they are either getting rare or getting too expensive to mess with at the moment. But if you dont see what your looking for please do ask, I have lots more than the following. Its just going to take a while to get it all together a little at a time.
SNAKE
The ever present python, the most common of the "exotics"
Whip Snake, I have a lot of colors in this one, and a buch in white that I can stain almost any color, some take well others dont. Second most common exotic
Rattlesnake, expensive and I dont know why, the buggers are everywhere around here.
Karung, a bead like scaled tropical snake, becoming endangered so this is all I will get, when its gone its gone, I have several colors I will list as I get them pictured
Just arrived, a small bit of new to me Anaconda, expensive but so different its worth it, it should look nice with a coat of wax.
GATOR AND CROC
The final remnants of a VERY large specimen of alligator
I have access to some back straps of croc, heres a close up of one, its white can can be stained
I also have some remnants of a nice looking croc, the back strap is gone but the sides are nice, and the tail is awesome! The light blue is not the final color, this will color anything from Tan to black.
I've really got to get back at it, but stay tuned for shark and other nifty inlay stuff!
