Thanks for the reply.

Did you tool anything on it? If so, how does it carve/tool?

Marlin:

Siegels of California has it. It can range from about $3.35 to $2.35 depending upon supply & whether or not you sign up for their Friday specials (which is really a good deal). I use a fair amount of it, & it tools quite nicely, but it IS thin (about 2oz), so be careful & don't hit your tools too hard (especially sharp edged tools like bevelers)- you can punch right through.

I got some veggie goat from Hide Crafters when they were still in Denver. Don't know if they still have it or how much it costs. It's very thin and flexible, great for embossing and stretching over things. When you tool it, be careful or you'll go right through! It has a beautiful grain to it which adds a lot to your project. I like it. It ain't baaaad!

I picked up some dyed/finished goat from them in Fort Worth before Christmas. I like it, though the white was a bit scruffy with marks. But, it's hard to get a good thin finished white, so I bought some anyway. The Dark Brown was better quality. I think it was all an odd lot purchase though.
