I did skip some posts, so apologies if it's been suggested and missed, but I do have one thought: I had always understood that the more common leather in use was goat. Everyone here seems to be discussing cowhide. Has anyone tried goathide? I have used some in other applications and thinner goat seems to be as durable and strong as thicker cowhide. I have not done any real scientific testing to compare the two, though.
