Now we're offering the bellows kit without the cover & liner material at a lower price, in case you have your own source of bellows material. You can order your kit by following this link.

New (very thin) bellows material available soon!

I have a new bellows material I am currently testing, this one is much thinner (0.006 inch) and the texture is more leather looking then textile looking. The 1st problem is that is not as is 100% light proof in 1 ply so I'm looking at treatments. When used for both the liner & cover, it is 100% light proof. The second problem is that is very expensive.

I think I will be offering this material for up to 4x5 bellows, as it will allow building bellows that fold very flat.

I will keep you posted.
