Yup, Sea Leather, Who knew??. I was surfing around the exotic leather sites
and crossed one with Sea Leather, had to give this a shot...
The leather piece is from a Tilapia Fish,not a very big piece but I could not imagine anyone tanning a fish skin.( I also got a piece of bull frog leather to play with) once the scales are removed it kind of has a very cool look.
I chose a white pelt so as to see any odd reactions to casting and the only issue I ran into is that certain angles the scale cavities give off a grey look.
Rather than try to hide the seam I decided to open it up a little and use a piece of ablone to gap the seam.
This is the first try but I thing it does warrant further investigating.
Fish Leather, I'm still blown away...
Thanks for looking
Mark
