Hello
I'm repairing a deco cabinet - fall front over doors. The bottom right door was torn by a dog. I'm checking for a skin supplier - I think it is ray - sanded + buffed. This kind of repair doesn't come along often so any help where a piece of skin can be obtained is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
SA

Hey Bob,
I found a guy on e-bay who sells rays skins.
They are bleached + buffed down -
I guess the trick will be matching the finish on top of the skin after application.

Thanks Jeff -
I have heard of Pollaro - didn't think to call -
Have seen photos of his reproduction Ruhlman pieces and the steinway he did.
Jeff do you not think the skins on e-bay would work?
