When my banger Blbrd MTO's failed to materialize in time, I had to scramble to find a replacement pair. While I had my eye on these lowly b-grade samples, they languished unwanted d unloved on Grant Stone site for the weeks leading up to the Thunderdome open. In my own life, I take waste product from dairy farms to turn into spirits & upcycle bamboo chopsticks & fallen trees into knife / sword grips & scales, axe handles (& wood willing, earphone cups). People seem to be really put off by the honey-apricot of what I now considered to be absolutely marvelous leather. So I had to take a chance.
