jleidel Report post Posted May 4, 2016 All, I'm rather new to this hobby, so I apologize if this question is rather naive. I've been working with some basic kits and belt blanks that were all the standard veg-tanned leather. I'm working on my first custom design where I'm going to make a partial dash cover for my truck. Our family spends a lot of time hunting/fishing/etc and I thought about trying to use deer hide rather than the standard veg-tanned leather. Does deer hide stamp well in a similar manner as veg-tanned? How tough is it to work with? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JMWendt Report post Posted May 4, 2016 If you're talking about the soft suede type deer hide (what I usually see), it won't stamp. I've never seen veg-tanned deer hide for stamping, but I suppose it could exist. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greywolf Report post Posted January 11, 2017 Sorry the deer Hyde is too soft, veg tanned leather or the veg tanneds that have stuff added to it like Latino and harness leathers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
