These are natural, undyed vegetable tanned cow sides from South America. The leather is full grain and has a natural finish.
It is suited to tooling, wet moulding, engraving and stamping. It is easy to tool and carve, and it takes dyes and stains readily.
Leather is a natural product, so a skin may occasionally have small defects or natural blemishes. The skins are graded to reflect this.
