Members Aventurine Posted July 17, 2024 Members Report Posted July 17, 2024 (edited) Animal bladder can be transparent or at least translucent, too, if it's stretched and oiled, not "broken" which makes it white. Edited July 17, 2024 by Aventurine Quote
Members SUP Posted July 17, 2024 Author Members Report Posted July 17, 2024 My transparent leather is exactly the same color. it's beautiful, very soft and easy to cut. After airing it daily for about month, the smell is almost completely gone. Quote Learning is a life-long journey.
Members bladegrinder Posted July 17, 2024 Members Report Posted July 17, 2024 Hmmm, I’m might have to look at using sausage casings in my knife sheath work. Quote
Members Aventurine Posted July 27, 2024 Members Report Posted July 27, 2024 @Sup, does it retain transparency where it is bent, creased, seamed and pounded? Quote
Members SUP Posted July 27, 2024 Author Members Report Posted July 27, 2024 Yes, it does. I've not tried pounding it but I've creased it, dyed it, and folded it and it remains transparent. Quote Learning is a life-long journey.
Members Aventurine Posted July 29, 2024 Members Report Posted July 29, 2024 @Sup. That's impressive. Quote

Members ksteers Posted July 29, 2024 Members Report Posted July 29, 2024 Kombucha is a common health drink these days. I once tried turning the scoby into jerky. Do NOT do that, trust me. now you have me wondering if thin layers of the scoby, when dried could be tooled/ used as leather. Symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast (SCOBY) Quote
