    Default S. R. Sikes..... a cool place to visit

    Dennis Danich ( Dresden) and me went to S.R. Sikes yesterday and met with Raymond Griffith, the owner. Sikes is a leather shop of long standing ,an interesting place to visit and a source for good leather at a low price.

    3715 Oregon Ave South
    Minneapolis, MN 55426
    phone 952-931-9905

    I purchased some 2 1/4" pieces for paddle strops. The cost was minimal and he cut them to the desired width as we waited.
    Give him a call if your looking for some veg tanned leather, he has more than enough! for any type of strop.

    Here are a few pics

    My 3 pieces



    His workshop and a few pics of the leather inventory.

    Nice! Are those different kinds of leather you got, or just variations in coloring?

    I was at Randy's house today and the pieces of leather he got his hands on are some nice hunks of leather. I am going to have to make a run there soon and pick some up. the smell and texture of the leather is enough to give a person a bad case of SAD.
