Members Half Goat Posted January 1, 2013 Members Report Posted January 1, 2013 Hey all i am wondering what veg tan buffalo shoulders are like to tool? i have just placed a large order for some 5mm as it was on sale and am wondering if it will be any good for making sheaths, scabbards, arm bracers, and tablet covers? i do a lot of tooling so this is very important! any advice would be great Hamish Quote Half-Goat Leatherwork - Handmade in Scotland. http://www.half-goat-leatherwork.co.uk/
Members Sylvia Posted January 3, 2013 Members Report Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) Hi Hamish. Got a picture of the Buffalo? Is it Bison or Water Buffalo? Although we use "veg Tanned" and "tooling leather" interchangeably, Not all veg tanned is for tooling.

dirtclod Posted January 4, 2013 Report Posted January 4, 2013 When you call ask them if they will cut a piece off and send to you. That way you can try it before you buy some. Quote I'm old enough to know that i don't know everything.
