zodiac703:
Does anyone know what sites you can buy tough leather handles for traditional longbows or any other selfbows? I can find suede strips but I'm not sure where to buy the thick leather in quantity or strips.

Josh:
I get my leather for grips from a hobby store close to my house called Hobby Lobby.  They sell scraps of leather in a grab bag for like 5.99.  Usually have 6 or 7 pieces suitable for handle use and I  use it also to make my knife sheaths.   :)  Usually you can find scrap pieces in bundles for sale pretty cheap. Just search the internet for scrap leather if you don't have a Hobby Lobby.  Good Luck!

Cacatch:
Another option would be trading for some. It's not a site like you were asking for, but it may be an easy way to get some good leather if you have anything to trade.  It can be useful sometimes too if you are low on cash.

Tandy Leather Co. is another option.

Cameroo:
I've found really cheap leather on eBay, way cheaper than Tandy.  Tandy is a good place to go for leather working tools though.
