Windrider30 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

johnv474 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Halitech Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
silverback Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
