Been some time I've been too busy to get back to this side project, but I recently completed the wrap by adding a topper/bottom turks head to the main long turks head. These top/bottom knots are exactly the ones I showed how to make in my recent tutorial on using a peg board. Now I just gotta get the proper leather to make the hand support strap. any sources you can recommend of rather than craft store?

Try a local tack store (saddles that kind of thing) or look in your local pet shop for leather leashes?
