If you try to do it yourself, you might experiment with soaking the
leather
in water, stretching it and then put it on. It will shrink tight as it
dries.

Thanks, Mike. Someday, when the weather warms up around here (it was 60
degrees here earlier today -- just a ten days after being below zero)
consistently, I'm going to tinker with this.

I've got LOTS of leather scraps to screw up! :-)
