Haven't built the whole pad outta leather. Used veg tan for a spacer just to adjust the length of pull.. I would think the leather would dry out and be as hard as a rock.. If all you are after is to protect the butt of the rifle coupla lalyers of leather glued together then grind to fit.. Note duct tape is your freind..
Thanks Leroy

I had to make a rubber cheek pad for my 3 1/2 mag shotgun to keep from cutting my cheek. Does that count?
