7/9oz. Double Shoulders — Craftsman (Lower) Grade — Natural Veg-Tan Tooling Leather by Sepici
Budget-friendly, workshop-ready veg-tan for daily practice and production — natural naked finish that tools, stamps and molds beautifully while developing a caramel patina over time.
Thickness: 7/9 oz (≈2.8–3.6 mm) Vegetable-Tanned Double Shoulders Craftsman (Lower) Grade Natural / Naked Finish
Product Overview
Craftsman (Lower) Grade Double Shoulders are tanned slowly at Sepici using an antique blend of oak, chestnut, mimosa, and quebracho extracts. Sourced from South American cows, this leather keeps a natural beige tone that ages to warm caramel with use.
The naked full-grain surface takes tooling, stamping, embossing and wet-molding extremely well. As a Craftsman grade, expect some fire brands/marks and natural defects that are ideal for rustic aesthetics, pattern nesting, or parts where character is welcome.
