Genuine Leather Tooling Sheets 1.8-2.0MM Thick Genuine Top Full Grain Oil Tan Crazy Horse Cowhide Leather Sheets for Crafts Tooling Sewing Wallet Earring Hobby (Dark Brown, 6"x12")

I needed something to replace the straps on my birkenstocks. They weren't worn out but I accidentally bought vegan uppers which means PLASTIC. Plastic makes blisters, blisters make scabs, pain and suffering ensues. Anyway...I have a bunch of upholstery leather from years of that type of work. It was all pretty thin for shoes though. This leather is way thicker than that! It's not something I'd make a belt out of, at least not a single thickness but it's great for shoes! I'd add a pic of my birks but they are gluing at the moment. Due to my innovating and amazing redneck skills, they are wrapped in yarn holding together while I pray the glue sets. The piece I got was rolled nicely and had no creases. There was a small surface scuff but it wasn't anything deep and will go away in time or with more oil. It looks like the picture and seems to be pretty even thickness to me. Nothing hairy on the back or wrinkled, we used to call those pieces armpits and elbows, just where the animal had creases. This piece was soft and smooth and looks like nice flat hide. I have enough left after fixing this pair that I could fix probably another whole pair of sandals. Can't beat the price either. I'm happy and would order again if I needed more. I'm hoping this lasts a while! Lol

I needed some thick full grain leather for making a couple of strops to keep woodworking tools sharp. Gluing this down to a piece of plywood was exactly what I needed. The rough side takes polish compound very well, and some hide glue on the smooth side adhered it nicely to the plywood. It can easily be cut to size with a sharp knife. It's good, thick leather and should last me as long as I can hold a chisel.

This tooling leather square (1.8 - 2.0MM) is perfect for making various jewelry items like bracelets. The coloring was even across the leather piece, although I would not necessarily expect it to be. It is finished smooth on one side and unfinished natural leather on the other side. It is soft, bendable and very nice to touch and has a wonderful natural leather smell. It is easy to cut with a razor blade or even a good pair of scissors.I am also using it to line both sides of a home-made small wooden clamp I made to hold jewelry wires (copper and silver) in place while I do wire weaving, wire wrapping, or other intricate wire work. The leather prevents any scratches from getting on the wires while they are clamped down. I will definitely buy this again.

Thick material. Seems heavy duty. Purchased to put on pocket corners of his contractor jeans to help keep them from fraying because of the clips on tools that he uses. Color in pictures is accurate. Does mark when folded but that is irrelevant in my particular application.

Leather is great quality and feels really nice. Can embroidery it aswell as sew it. Wished they came in bigger sheets.

Nice piece of quality leather. Purchased this item for a special project, which may or may not work out. No problem though, the price was good.Update:Purchased two more pieces. My project worked out but needs a little refining. I am using this leather to line the inside of kydex gun holsters. Steel framed guns can get marks on the finish from the harder kydex holsters.Prior to making the holster, I glue the leather to the kydex. Then heat and form. The process can be a little tricky, but my prototype worked out really well.

The leather is fine for crafting bags, pouches, bracelets and other projects that will not be tooled or it doesn't matter if it stretches. Despite the title, you can not tool this leather. Oil tanned leather is chrome tanned leather treated with oils and waxes afterwards. Chrome tanned leather can not be tooled because it is soft and pliable. This stuff has its place, but the seller has no idea what they are selling.

Great Product. Priced well. Accurate description.
