    Could you elaborate on this a little bit? Are you looking for a leather butt pad, lace on leather cheek piece, or actually looking for the part that is normally made of wood to be made of leather?

    It's commonly known as a Butt Wrap and there are several styles. I've done a few on my own rifles, and several for other people. Each one is different and leather stretches according to grain.

    The tricky part is sewing the butt pad leather to the wrap, and if you decide to do it yourself, or have someone else do it, make sure they put the rough side of the leather out on the butt pad. This helps prevent slipping. You'll want the smooth side of the leather for the wrap itself. It's easier on your cheek that way.

    For mine, I use a baseball stitch and it looks pretty good.

    Hope this helps.
