Firm Vegetable Tanned Full Grain Tooling Leather Thick Cowhide Handmade Stiff Leather Material for Craft/Tooling/Caving/Hobby Workshop (Beige-4.0mm, 10x10inches)

After checking out leather in the craft stores that were not up to what I was looking for I gave this a shot. So easy to work with and great quality. Now I'm trying to think of other projects so I can order more.

CONTEXTI am a calligrapher, so I needed to get some leather to make a sign for a photoshoot. Living in Hawaiʻi, my options are very limited and expensive, so I turned to Amazon and found this.PROS- BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL!!! Obviously, it's tough to tell with anything when you buy it online, but there is absolutely nothing to worry about with this. It is a gorgeous color.- Quality is 100. It's thick and durable and doesn't scratch easily. By that, I mean I have worked with other "craft" leather that if I accidentally run my nail over it, would scratch the surface (hope that makes sense). Not the case with this leather.- Easy to work with! It took a couple of passes with me Exacto blade, but I didn't mind the extra elbow grease.CONS- As I said, it took a little bit of extra elbow grease to cut through the leather with my top-notch Exacto blade, so I could see that as being a negative to some people. It bothered me at first, but when I changed my blade it wasn't really an issue.OVERALLI love this leather! In my opinion, it is worth every dollar. I used mine to make hanging straps for a sign, but also ended up making a little key chain holder. I plan on making a lanyard with it as well and know I will still have a lot left over for more projects. Highly recommend this product... don't even hesitate about buying it.

I don’t have a before but am showing the after. The top of my steering wheel was falling apart just from years of use. I tried a leather wrap that had a good adhesive but didn’t look that good and eventually started to peel off. I also tried the usual covers but didn’t like the look nor the thickness. I purchased this leather piece based on other positive reviews, it’s 2mm thickness, real leather (not PU leather or vinyl) and it’s what I consider tool leather. A thinner material for stitching would have ripped for my purpose. Basically I measured the width and length needed, cut the leather then poked holes about an 1/8” apart and away from the edge. I also purchased a roll of 2mm waxed thread (cotton thread won’t work, even in quads) and leather needles. For the steering wheel application I used the baseball stitch (many YouTube videos on how to do this). You have to pull each stitch tight then after a few rows go back with a hook and retighten each stitch. Make sure you tie your stitches in on either side of the original steering wheel leather. It is a tad thicker but nice strong leather that will last forever. As most people say take your time and do it right, you’ll be happy with your results. Just to stitch the top it took me 2-3 hours. I’m not a tailor, just logical and didn’t want to purchase a new steering wheel for $250.

The leather is a lot thicker then the description says it is.

ends up being 4.50 sq/in with the 24x24 after shipping

Great stuff. Will buy again.

Can’t wait to use this to make some hair slides very happy with my purchase

This isn't my first purchase from Jeereal. I really like the quality of their products and I will continue to purchase from them. The color is consistent and beautiful and the piece is in excellent shape (No holes or thin spots). Shipping was super fast. I purchased this piece and the shipping cost was $40. Didn't really like that but I needed this color so went ahead and took the hit. Amazon told me it wouldn't be here until Aug 11-Sept 1. Imagine my delight when I received it in 8 days. The only reason this is getting a 4 out of 5 is that the purchase was for 10~13sqft and as you can see from the picture, it's ~9sqft. This still makes it about $16.22/sqft, which they sell 12x12 for $17.99 so the over/under is a good value. But I got less product than I was hoping for not that I've ever received closer to the 13sqft option but oh well.

Quality leather.

Excelente, llego en tiempo, bien empacando (es un artículo que puede dañarse fácilmente) y el producto lo que esperaba. Lo usare para mis proyectos de madera combinación con piel

This leather is very nice. Shipped quickly. It doesn't have the final finish for shine and can be scratched easily. I need a millimeter thicker to make a good knife sheath though

La calidad de la piel no es buena, el costo es muy alto para la cantidad de material

Está muy bien la piel, solo que si le tienes que tratar la parte de atrás.
