Review: Beautiful Leather - Don't you just love the smell of fresh leather. This stuff is great for tooling. The skin is just a pinch looser once wet than what I'm used to but it still works pretty good. It takes detail well and so far is holding it as the leather dries. The slightly looser skin only seems to affect one of my really thin tools that I use for faint edging and none of the others, so I can't really complain. Because of this I did find that dotting the initial layout was far easier than dragging it. Most people work that way anyway. One flaw showed up after soaking, but fortunately it is in an area that I should be cutting off anyway and there was really no way for them to know. It looked exactly like the rest of the hide until it had been in water for two days and it was only a halfway through loose spot (probably from some sort of minor skin mutation). These things are unavoidable when dealing with nature. It cuts nicely, molds and tools nicely, and did I mention that it smells nicely...I mean nice. It was shipped well, not too tightly/loosely rolled, adhered in a non damaging way, and also not excessively packaged. 10/10 will buy again.
Review: Arrived quickly and was exactly what I needed - Very good purchase, I am more than pleased with the quality

## Questions & Answers

**Q: So is this one whole piece or cuttings left behind?**
A: This is one whole piece in a 4 to 6 square foot size.

**Q: What is approximate lenth and width for the 14-16 sq ft. ?**
A: The 14-16 SQ FT have different dimensions because the cut is from either the Double Shoulder or the Side of the cowhide. Dimensions will have a range between 40" to 60" x 30" to 50".

**Q: What is approximate length and width for the 16-18 sq ft ?**
A: The approximate length and width are between 3' to 4' X 4' to 6'.

**Q: Can this leather be heated in water and stretched for making of a odaiko drum?**
A: Vegetable tanned leather is not suitable for an odaiko drum. It is vulnerable to water and heat, which can damage and weaken it. Use a drum leather designed for drum heads instead.
