Review on Black Cowhide Scrap Leather - Lace Texture - 18x7+ inches (#L300) by Dawn Fischer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Large piece of good quality leather

I purchased this leather along with a thinner piece to make custom handlebar grips. I'm not great with leather qualities, but I'd call it a heavy weight, meaning its 1/8 inch thickness is moderately stiff, on the order of a men's belt. The product description lists the uses for which I would like to add handlebar grips. Using a leather punch, I made holes around the edges for the laces (cut from the thinner part I mentioned above) and tied them to the handlebars to replace the existing fraying grip. Pop up. This way I saved myself the hassle and hassle of installing new grips while still creating a nice look. As indicated in the product description, it is a piece of leather, ie leftovers, but it is not junk; It is a thick, high quality piece of leather without blemish that I am sure will find wide use in arts and crafts.
