skirting or carving leather...

Recommended Posts

I recieved a flyer from Wickett & Craig with some great prices on both, and was wondering what the difference was.

Skirting leather is heavy- 12/14 oz. It is veggie tanned, and can be carved. Carving leather is veggie tanned also, and comes in a variety of weights. Thicknesses. We leatherworkers don't seem to like simple terminology, do we? ;)

W & C also make light skirting in the 8/10 oz range which complicates things even more.

According to W & C the difference is in how they are finished i.e the amount of oil/type of oil added during the currying process. Skirting in this case is a bit oilier than the Tooling/Holster which is a bit drier and therfore generally not quite as supple...........
