First let me say that SKB's method of cutting a groove in the buttstock to allow full seating of the leather covered pad to the buttstock, is real genius.
The covering of leather on a recoil pad is much less difficult if you will skive the leather to .020" thickness before you soak it in water. The skiving process can be tricky. Use the very best quality razor blades in your leather skiver--I use the Japanese" Feather" razor blades. Also some leather has been "tanned" with chemicals that will dull a razor blade quickly and you will have to use 2=3 razor blades to skive the leather. If you want to see how the skiving of leather is done watch this video:
