Lineets Report post Posted April 2, 2018 My greeting to all leathercrafters! I`m a new one here, as you see. I`ve already shown some of my work. But here I want to talk about the Japanese Veg Tanned tooling leather. I tried it last autumn and I really liked it. It`s really amazing. I ordered it directly from the factory. To tell the truth I found it very suddenly. I was looking for the Himeji White Veg Tanned Leather, but still haven`t found it. Instead of it I found another factory which produces veg tanned leather Is there anybody here who tried or used Japanese leather? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of course I know the website cause I found it by myself. It`s http://sanyotan.co.jp/ I liked carving and stamping. The swifel knife slides very easily. Cuts are smooth. Leather keeps water for a very long time that`s why it`s not nessesery to add moisturing durig the process. I took 2 sorts of thier leather - full grain and corrected grain. I liked corrected grain more because there aren`t any scars on the face The flesh side is also smooth and it looks like face. But this leather is little specific because of its colour. It`s not beige like Hermann Oak. It`s yellow. That`s why dyeing may have some difficulties. Many colours are darker on it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
