Check at cameraleather.com, and they'll give you instructions. If you buy the kit from them, the pieces are neatly precut for you. I wouldn't do it from blank leather sheets unless you are particularly skilled at cutting such things (which some people are--like people who cut beveled window mattes with an X-acto knife). There are a lot of small pieces like tiny leather circles that go on a knob and such.
The lizard and snake skins are too small to cover the whole thing, or should I have it gilded in 24 carat gold?
