Thanks everyone. I got some leather at Tandy a few days ago, I tried putting it on a project, but it looked strange. This is probably because there was no recess, I went about 1/8” from the edges, and the leather was about 1/8-3/16” in thickness. So, if I use no recess, I guess at the very least I need to use thinner leather.

I may give delrin a shot, probably not on this project, but one I know will be moved around a lot more, and needs to be more durable.
