WHY CHOOSE CHROME-TANNED BUFFALO LEATHER?
Chrome-tanned buffalo leather offers a practical alternative to vegetable-tanned leather for projects where a finished colour and surface appearance are preferred.
Buffalo leather is valued for its distinctive character and suitability for a wide range of leather goods.
The substantial thickness of this particular leather makes it a useful option for projects requiring more body than lightweight garment or upholstery leather.
BENEFITS OF A SINGLE BUTT CUT
A buffalo single butt comes from the rear section of the hide and generally provides a practical cutting area for leatherworkers.
Its shape is especially useful when producing belts, straps and longer leather components.
The approximate 10–12 square foot area also provides material for smaller accessories and coordinating leathercraft projects.
NATURAL LEATHER CHARACTERISTICS
As genuine leather is a natural material, each piece may display variations in colour, grain, markings and surface appearance.
Individual single butts may also vary slightly in shape, thickness and overall dimensions.
These natural characteristics contribute to the individuality of finished leather goods.
