Our take on the Volcano Side

Volcano Side is a chrome-tanned cowhide side sold as a single side averaging 18 to 22 sq. ft. It has a medium pull-up effect, a firm temper and a waxy hand, and it comes in 2 to 4 oz. (0.8 to 1.6 mm) thickness. The pull-up gives it a distressed look that shifts where it bends, which suits bags, chaps and other projects that want a rugged finish. It is thinner and more pliable than veg-tan tooling sides, so it is not the pick for carved or molded work.

Pros
  • Medium pull-up effect gives a shifting, worn-in look
  • Firm temper holds shape in bags and straps
  • Waxy feel finishes well with little extra treatment
  • Chrome tanning resists moisture better than veg-tan
  • Large side covers big projects with fewer seams
Cons
  • Black has no pull-up effect, so it looks plainer
  • 2 to 4 oz. is too thin for heavy belts and holsters
  • Chrome-tanned leather is not suited to carving or tooling
  • Pull-up shading varies across the side and between sides

Questions and answers

What is pull-up leather?
Pull-up leather is finished so the color lightens where the hide is stretched or bent, then settles back. Volcano Side has a medium pull-up effect, so it shows a mottled, worn-in look on folds and edges.
Does the black color have pull-up?
No. The black version is made without the pull-up effect, so it stays an even color instead of lightening where it bends.
What thickness is it, and what can I make with it?
It is 2 to 4 oz., about 0.8 to 1.6 mm. That weight suits bags, chaps, pouches and linings. It is too thin for heavy belts, holsters or anything that needs stiff support.
Can I tool or carve it?
No. It is chrome-tanned, and chrome-tanned leather does not hold tooling or carving the way veg-tan does. Use a veg-tan side for carved work.
How big is one side?
A side averages 18 to 22 sq. ft. (1.67 to 2.04 sq. meters). Each hide varies, so expect some difference in size and shape from side to side.
How does it compare with veg-tan sides?
It is softer, more water-resistant and has a waxy pull-up finish, but it is not carvable. Veg-tan is firmer, takes tooling and dyes, and needs more finishing.
Where is the Volcano Side cheapest?
At Tandy Leather, Inc., for $129.99, as of our latest check.
