Natural Tooling Side

Description

The Natural Tooling Side is one of the cleanest vegetable tanned full grain leathers available for tooling and craftwork. Designed for staining, dyeing, carving, embossing, moulding, and general leathercraft, this leather provides a strong and consistent canvas for traditional techniques.

Each hide is first-grade quality, with a super smooth grain and regular cut that allows for excellent cutting with minimal waste. Its long length makes it especially suitable for large panels and extended projects, giving makers more options and flexibility.

Because the leather is natural and undyed, it serves as the ideal base for applying dyes, stains, or oils to achieve custom colours and finishes. With its strength, clean surface, and versatility, Natural Tooling Side is highly valued by craftsmen for both functional and decorative work.
