Half Goat Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sylvia Report post 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. Edited January 3, 2013 by Sylvia Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
