Our take on the Natural Veg Tan Cowhide Leather – 6–7 oz Sides & Pieces

Artisans' Choice natural vegetable-tanned cowhide is a firm, smooth leather in 6–7 oz (2.4–2.8 mm) thickness. It is sold as full sides (15–32 sq ft) or project pieces (6.5–7.5 sq ft). The stiff temper and unfinished surface make it suitable for tooling, stamping, carving, and dyeing. It is a durable choice for belts, bags, sheaths, holsters, and other structured goods. Compared to softer, chrome-tanned leathers, it holds its shape well but requires more break-in and finishing.

About the Natural Veg Tan Cowhide Leather – 6–7 oz Sides & Pieces

This is natural vegetable-tanned cowhide from Artisans' Choice, sold as full sides or as smaller project pieces. The surface is smooth and unfinished, and the temper is stiff. It suits tooling, stamping, carving and dyeing.

At 6–7 oz, it is a heavier vegetable-tanned leather. It can be used for belts, bags, sheaths, holsters and other structured leather goods.

The leather is in good condition for crafting. As genuine leather, it may show natural markings such as scars, bug bites and scratches. The hide is sold for its finished top side. The suede side may have tannery marks, score marks, writing or other natural imperfections, and its color may vary between dye lots. Each hide or piece is similar to the one pictured, and color, grain, texture and shape vary from one to the next.

Questions and answers

What is the difference between a side and project pieces?
A side is a full hide portion ranging from 15 to 32 square feet, while project pieces are smaller cuts of 6.5 to 7.5 square feet. Sides offer more material for large projects, while pieces suit smaller items or sampling.
Is this leather suitable for carving and tooling?
Yes, the vegetable-tanned, firm temper leather is designed for tooling, stamping, and carving. The smooth surface accepts impressions well when properly cased.
How thick is the leather?
It is 6–7 oz, which converts to approximately 2.4–2.8 mm. This thickness is sturdy enough for belts, bags, and holsters.
Does it come pre-dyed or finished?
No, it is natural and unfinished, ready for you to dye, oil, or finish as desired. The blank surface allows for custom coloring and treatments.
What are the average dimensions of a side?
A typical side averaging 21–23 square feet measures about 31 inches by 78 inches. Actual dimensions vary by hide.
Can I use this leather for small projects like wallets?
It is possible, but the 6–7 oz thickness is heavy for small items like wallets. It is better suited for larger, structured projects where firmness is an advantage.
