Thanks Glen, was leaning towards them as I can drive down there and pick 'em up myself, as opposed to having them delivered.

What's a good source for quality b&c strips?

No No! Always varnish rawhide after it dries. It should remain drum tight. Rawhide seats are very comfortable, not that you should be sitting on them. You should be kneeling , with your butt against the front of the seat.
