Pat, do you have a source for the leather? I have some here that may work for you. Let me know if you are still looking.

I have a variety of colors Pat. I don't know how well I can reproduce them in a pic but I will give it a go and try to get something off to you tomorrow.

Pat, here are a couple of pics of pieces that may be of interest to you. The red one is slightly thicker than the brown one. I think either would take leather dye if you wanted to work with the colors.
PM or email if you are interested...

Regards, Allan.....

Hi Allen, thanks for posting the pics :) ... i'm not sure if those colors would work and i don't know if using leather dye would do a good job :? , when you stain leather do it still retain it's gloss?, i've never stained leather before so i'm in the dark here :roll: .
