I think the problem was the leather was just not big enough for most potential products.

It's too thin for boot leather and too small for anything more then a knife sheath cover or a wallet.

So, you could skin it out, make beaver tail and beans plus tan the leather and make yourself a killer knife sheath of wallet like no one else has.
Think ill pass on the beaver tail and beans keg but would really love a BT wallet
