on both sides. I did not understand the verbal description in Stepping through time. When they say, "tacked on" , they're referring to a simple running stitch? I'm still in the process of understanding the terminology.
I've purchased stuff from Tandy leather, but they do not carry shoemaker's pitch. I may take you up on your offer as I still have not been able to locate a source in the USA. For now, I'll continue to use waxed thread. I'm in the process of moving, so that has to be completed first. By the way, what is the historical evidence for the use of bees wax versus pitch in roman leather work? My copy of Stepping through time is packed at the moment and I do not recall seeing a mention of this.
