I buy all my leather from NZ leather but that is all in either russet double shoulders for sheath work or a side in the the case of the dyed leather for the gun case.
How much do you need?

So my axe head is overall dimensions 164x122mm - I'm guessing I need with the fold something like a piece 260x150mm to allow for forming and the fold and stitching etc? Plus a piece for a strap of some sort...
