These sides are selected for their cleaner surface and give leathercrafters a great starting point for carving, stamping, dyeing, antiquing, and finishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the kind of vegetable-tanned leather you want when the face of the leather is going to become part of the artwork. It takes moisture well for tooling and can be carved, stamped, molded, dyed, oiled, and finished to create everything from detailed decorative work to clean, traditional leather projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eChoose the weight that best fits your project:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e3–4 oz.:\u003c\/b\u003e Approximately 27–32 Sq.

Cowhide can still show occasional scars, wrinkles, insect marks, or other evidence that it came from an animal. The advantage here is simply that you're starting with some of the cleaner tooling sides we have available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePlease Note:\u003c\/b\u003e Natural vegetable-tanned leather will vary somewhat in color, grain, and surface character from side to side.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Krumenauer","offers":[{"title":"3-4 oz","offer_id":67797791473757,"sku":"133-72134","price":7.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4-5 oz","offer_id":67797791506525,"sku":"133-72145","price":7.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5-6 oz","offer_id":67797791539293,"sku":"133-72156","price":7.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0631\/4000\/3933\/files\/TPGT.default.jpg?v=1792503755","url":"https:\/\/springfieldleather.com\/products\/top-grade-tooling-veg","provider":"Springfield Leather Co","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
