This is a full-grain, vegetable-tanned side from Turkish tannery Sepici, sold in the 2/3 oz (roughly 0.8–1.2 mm) weight. It is naked leather with no artificial finish, so it takes tooling, carving, stamping, dye and wet-molding well and darkens to a caramel tone with use. The Good Grade label means visible scars, wrinkles, vein marks and loose grain are expected, which is why it suits practice pieces, rustic designs and small production runs rather than show-grade work. Compared with premium tooling sides it is thinner and less consistent, but it is a low-risk way to learn carving or to cut small goods like wallets, card holders and linings.

This is a side of natural vegetable-tanned tooling leather in 2/3 oz. thickness (0.8–1.2 mm). It is Good Grade leather made from European hides by Sepici. The surface is natural, naked full-grain with no artificial finish or embossing.
The leather is vegetable-tanned with oak, chestnut, mimosa and quebracho extracts. It has a natural beige tone that darkens to a warm caramel patina with age and use. The grain is tight enough for clean tooling.
It can be tooled, carved, stamped, embossed, dyed, stained, oiled and wet-molded. Pieces may show natural characteristics and defects such as healed scars, wrinkles, vein marks and loose grain areas. Clean cutting yield varies from piece to piece, and some pieces may contain multiple defects.
