I purchased a piece of leather from the Wichita Falls Boot and Saddle Maker's Show. It looks, feels, smells and tools like veg tan leather, but it does NOT absorb water!

I can tool it without water or any moisture aid.

What kind of leather is this?

Thanks,

Marlon

Could be, but I don't think so. I've seen some oil tanned and that seems more rustic looking. The leather I have looks exactly like veg tan.

Does it take a burnish in the tooling as well?

doesn't seem to burnish. But tools well.

If it isn't oil tanned, my only other guess would be chrome re-tanned.

Can you post up a pic of the leather where you've tooled it? It may look familiar to some other members... :dunno:

@westtxcowboy1979 I think you may be right. I have only see the burgundy and black, prior to this. Thanks.
