This is a full cowhide side in natural off-white, vegetable-tanned and oiled, sold by the hide at roughly 25 to 30 square feet. It comes in A and B grades and in several weights, so buyers pick thickness to match the job. Veg-tanned cowhide is the standard choice for carving, tooling and stamping, and a side this size gives long uninterrupted runs for straps, sheaths and pouches. Compared with smaller craft panels or chrome-tanned hides, it offers more usable area and takes tooling far better, but it is a whole side: expect natural scars, brand marks and color variation, and more trimming waste on B grade.
