Cuoio Tooling Leather Material, Buffalo Hide Heavy Real Leather Sheets for Craft, Tanned Raw Full Grain Genuine Leather Pieces for Leather Work, 12x12 Blue 1.4mm PreCut Thick DIY Leather Squares.

This piece of leather arrived rolled up in a cotton bag inside a plastic wrapper. The leather color is very much like the photos of the products - with a smooth texture of brown leather with shades of pale showing through. I like the feel of the leather - it is hard enough to make it easy for crafting and soft to touch. I plan to use this for leg socks for my chairs to avoid scratching floors - the stickers felt are not working for me. Over all this seems like a great buy - I would buy again.

I have been learning to use a laser engraver and have tried paper, very thin (nearly veneer) wood to some wood disks and then this leather to understand how to adjust the laser's power and closeness to the material in order to understand how to get the engraving I want on the product I'm using. This leather is thinner or maybe I should say it is about medium thickness for leather, but the thing is that this, being leather, works up differently under the laser than paper or wood (both cellulose products where this is an animal product). I am thinking of using leather like this as a journal cover and engraving/embossing an image and/or fancy initials to personalize items I am making for gifts and to sell. This leather is pretty and I will be getting more to work with for my journal projects.

I use leather mainly for covering the grip on the bows and quivers I make as a hobby and also for making sheathes for axes and knives. The description of this leather as “Buffalo hide tooling leather works that require rawhide sheet leather and leather sides for tooling and … for knife sheath making” suggested that it would be good for those applications. It’s actually far too soft for that. It is certainly attractive, and very supple, and I think better applications would be those that require a lot of flexibility and don’t require abrasion resistance or stiffness. It marks very easily, and as you can see in the photo, what looks like a permanent crease was left by the string tied around it when it arrived. I think it might be perfect for a pair of baby moccasins.

Buyers beware! The photo speaks for itself! Poor quality stained and just a plain lack of quality with this leather product.

I really am impressed with this piece of leather and the color looks fabulous. It came packaged rolled up and tied in a cotton bag for protection. I got it to add to shoe and boot projects I have and it will work out really well. The leather is nice and thick but pliable. Some tooling leather is too thick for my purposes. I think the price is right given it is already dyed. The 12 x 24 size I got is also a good amount of leather for me to have on hand for small projects.

I enjoy woodworking and my hobby is lapidary so right off I have to say I am at best amateur at any leatherworking. I wanted to try my hand at tooling a piece of leather so got this 12" x 24" full grain natural cowhide tanned leather sheet which is "Bourbon Brown" stained. The Seller offers various colors and sizes. The sheet is about 2mm thick and has a smooth and rough side with only a small defect in staining (P.4). The leather had no cuts or other defects and was otherwise very uniform in thickness with great suppleness. I'll enjoy working with this.I Recommend this Cuoio by UMAS Brand Tooling Leather Material, Cowhide Heavy Real Leather Sheets for Craft, Tanned Raw Full Grain Genuine Leather Pieces for Leather Work, 12x24 Bourbon Brown 1.8mm-2.0mm PreCut Thick Leather. Just what I wanted to try my hand at leatherwork!I hope you’ve found the information and my review helpful.

Nice 12” x 12” piece of full grain cow hide leather. Beautiful color and measures about 2 mm in thickness.We are using the leather pieces to create logo for trucker hats. We are using our laser to engrave the logo and then gluing it to the hat. This color is so,rich and perfect for our project.So thankful that it is genuine leather which works best when using our laser cutter to engrave. Comes out nice!

The heading says buffalo hide, but the description says cow hide
