I work for West Coast Shoe Co.
www.wescoboots.com, I get scraps pieces of leather anytime I need for a project.
Recently found turning the leather is quite fun and different. This stopper has 11 pieces of 1/4" thick raw leather.
Bonded with thin CA and some thick when needed. Turned to shape, sanded with 100, 320, 400, 600 the a HUT
friction polish.
