Tandy Leather Vegetable Veg Tan C/D Grade #2 Tooling Carving Embossing Stamping Single Cowhide Leather Shoulder 7oz to 9oz 4-6 Square Feet
SKU: AK-B1GQ-B585
We are pleased to offer our Economy Grade Vegetable Tan Leather Single Shoulder. Our Single Shoulders are cut from C/D Grade cowhides imported from South America. Because this leather is c/d grade you can expect some imperfections. You are likely going to have to work around bug bites, scar, or range marks. Our single shoulders are six to seven-ounce and are between four and six square feet in surface area.
The color may vary from monitor to monitor, but you can expect your leather to arrive with a pale honey color. This leather takes water and it dyes beautifully, or you can let it develop its natural patina as it ages.
The grain on this leather has a semi-firm hand that tools, carves, embosses, and stamps just fine. Ideal for a whole range of finished leather goods such as gun holsters, knife sheaths, travel bags, cigar rolls, journals, wallets, saddlebags the only limit is your creativity.
The shoulder of the cow is a part of the hide that is soft and pliable because the grain is less dense. When deciding what you are going to do please keep in mind that the shoulder and belly of a cow yield softer leather. If your project requires a dense tight grain you will want to consider the side of the cow which is where you will find that dense grain.
Vegetable tan leather is all-natural, using only earthy tannins. Vegetable tan leather is eco friendly, making it safe for your family and your pets! If you enjoy the natural smell of leather veg-tan leather is the smell you are craving. It is the unmistakable smell that you find appealing when you walk into a leather store! If you have any questions or concerns about our vegetable tan single shoulder please let us know, we are happy to answer any questions for you. We have experienced Master Craftsmen available to help you with your project or to just toss ideas around with.
