Product Overview
These Craftsman Grade Double Shoulders are slowly vegetable-tanned at Sepici Tannery using a traditional blend of oak, chestnut, mimosa, and quebracho extracts. Made from South American hides, the leather features a natural beige tone that darkens beautifully into a warm caramel patina with age and use.
The naked full-grain surface offers excellent tooling, stamping, embossing, carving, and wet-molding performance.
Because this is a special Craftsman-grade selection, the leather is best suited for:
- Practice and training projects
- Rustic, dyed/stained or vintage-style products
- Pattern nesting and smaller cut parts
- Workshops and production environments where cosmetic perfection is not required
This leather is priced accordingly and offers excellent value for makers who prioritize functionality and affordability over cosmetic appearance.
