I think about it's a hybrid tanning which made firstly with chromium then added some of the veg tanning tannin do it .. as I said before it didn't curl up in the test ( which can also be caused by the high thickness and firmness of this piece ) Thanks for your replay

Good day everybody , I received this sample from local tannery in Egypt ( where I live ) and they claim that's a veg tan leather but I don't really but it as there's a center line with dark grey centered in leather layers .. I tried the boiling water test it didn't curl up but it shrank about 20% of original length .. i don't know why it didn't curl on itself because it's not real veg tan or it's thick layer about 4mm The weird issue that rose is it got burnished very beautiful with glass-like edge with just wooden slicker and water so it got me mad because I can't decide what is that ?! THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP

I watched the video it's all about transplanting the old tanneries to a new place with more area to work with but nothing about what actually happening to the leather or the process .. but thanks for the effort PS : I took this as a leather sample of what they claim is a Veg Tan .. That center line is normal to appear in veg tan leather ?

yes i agree with that but they refuse to tell me that also they claims that they don't use Chromium in that tanning process but also still in ONE DAY .. if you know other tanning process that can match that criteria i will appreciate it Thanks for your greeting yes i know that but the leather here are too supple and stretchy that even the edge beveler can't work its way in it so when I start using the slicker the leather layers starts to mushroom outside and results in really awkward looking piece

First of all, I'm new to leather living in Egypt and want to know more about tanning because the gossip here is sky high and everybody claims he's the best but when it comes to picking veg tan leather people get crazy fast I have asked the biggest tannery here and they claimed that they do Vegetable tanning process within a day or so using a drum Since am new to this area so I can't decide is that true or just a scam Also, I'm suffering dealing with too supple leather even my edge beveler ( Not the best quality ) can go as the leather starts to get stretchy and wrinkly so if anyone can help me out i will appreciate it so much Adding to this, when I asked one of the workers in the tanneries he said that they press the leather in the finishing process and he correlated that it has to do with the firmness of the leather in the outcome .. Is that true ? Thanks in Advance
