Members Windrider30 Posted April 28, 2017 Members Report Posted April 28, 2017 Ok every time I get a half a hide of veg tan leather I always see these marks running along one side or the other, are these from some kind of clamping they use in the tanning process? Quote
alpha2 Posted April 28, 2017 Report Posted April 28, 2017 Yep. Quote So much leather...so little time.
Members johnv474 Posted May 2, 2017 Members Report Posted May 2, 2017 I think those are from clamps they use to hang the leather during parts of the tanning process. I see them on (nearly?) every side of leather I see, whether chrome- or veg-tanned. Quote
Members Halitech Posted May 3, 2017 Members Report Posted May 3, 2017 part of the tanning process is stretching so yes, those go all the way around from the clips they use Quote Every day you learn something is a good day. If you don't learn something every day, was it worth waking up for?
Members silverback Posted May 3, 2017 Members Report Posted May 3, 2017 (edited) the marks are caused by the toggles/clamps used when hanging and stretching the hides on wire frames to dry. Edited May 3, 2017 by silverback extra content Quote
