HOLY CRAP ! Just found a flat rater hidden behind my EX-TRA large city garbage container. Postman must have thought it was a shipment of Diamonds as well as he hid it ! Haven't a clue how long it's been sitting there ! Took it into the house to see what it was, didn't feel heavy enough for a box of rocks, almost felt EMPTY NOT SO It was a box FULLLLL of leather Every color you could imagine , less Florescent hot pink. Full is an understatement . When I cut the tape, Leather pieces started CRAWLING out of the box like it was still alive and attached to the critter. After a half bushel or so made its way out onto the living room floor I noticed that the box still appeared to be level full . Julie must use a Hydraulic press to get that much material into THAT size box The larger size pieces I will bond together for a new leg pad to keep from shredding any MORE of my Levies while knapping the Flint Mel has been sending me. Some of the smaller pieces will be used for LARGER hand pads to protect my paws while pressure flaking notches in my arrowheads. I recently slipped with my copper tipped Ishi Stick (long handled pressure flaking tool ) and punched the 1/4 inch diameter tip (almost ) completely thru my left hand . Almost is about it, as, I could see the lump under the skin on the back of my hand. NO I did NOT say THAT :blush: It hurt SOOOOO bad I couldn't say anything I was at a total loss for words. Some of the smaller pieces I will try to work up into the Leather mounted ( rock inlaid ) key chains that (Jamie ) posted about a year ago ? I think I figured out how they were made but Tony Funk may beat me to it as he and I were talking about them the other night. The brighter colors are beginning to disappear already, I believe I heard my wife mention to her daughter something about leather and a Scrap-booking project they have been working on ! Julie if you read this, Thank you VERY much, the soft, pliable leather you sent me can not be found around here and I guarantee you that it WILL be utilized ! Harley

Harley!! I am so glad you like it.
I really do have fun putting the boxes together and getting as much as possible in them has become sort of "setting a new personal best" on how much I can cram into that box.
I have had people tell me that there was so much stuffed in it, once the side tape was cut ... the box blew!!
As always ... if anyone wants anymore ... there is plenty ...
Just let me know and I will add you back to the back of the current list to ensure everyone gets some as they asked for it.
I do this for fun and had no idea that rockhounds love this stuff .... so I am in heaven to know it is being used for so many different things.
Julie

I got home and opened up this box that I got yesterday, and Ill be, somehow that cow exploded all over inside my house. The box flew open so fast something whizzed past my ear, glad it didn't hit me, I would still be in the hospital!!
Thanks Julie!!
