Glues for leather to wood

[Davidadew]

I have some leather which i need to glue to bare wood (hardwoods, oak / cherry / ash over time) and have searched on Google for a 'good' long lasting glue and have found that there are a lot of options.

What would you recommend for cabinet making? Over time will want to glue both sides of the leather to wood - smooth and suede.

Gorilla or contact adhesive?

They would have been my suggestions Chippy. Are you by any chance making razor strops David?

Thick wallpaper paste. That's what I use when replacing leather skivers on desks/bureau.

Epoxy is very good if you need a really strong bond on a friction pad or something like that.

I have used evo stick contact adhesive on leather to wood, paste both sides evenly, wait till its nearly gone dry then push them together for an excellent bond, needless to say you need to tack cloth first.

PVA wood glue and animal hide glue both work for me
