Description
What is a veg tan tooling leather piece?
Veg tan leather pieces from Hermann Oak are easily one of our most popular items. These are small vegetable tanned pieces of leather great for tooling, stamping, and carving the artwork you dream of making.
When do people use it?
Our customers opt for these pieces when their projects call for a small amount of veg tan leather. Knife sheaths, holsters, wallets, and bracelets are common crafts. You can even learn how to make a Sheridan style flower, or practice other projects that require carving and tooling.
What sizes and thicknesses are available?
We offer a full range of thicknesses from 2 ounces (1/32 inches) to 12 ounces (3/16 inches). The piece is exactly 3 or 6 square feet and usually measures 3’x1′ or 3’x2′, but can vary slightly in length or width.

I am very pleased and content with Montana Leather’s customer service and quality. I ordered an 8 and 12oz 3×1 sqr. ft. Tooling Leather pieces and received them within 5 days of my purchase (I paid lowest shipping cost). The pieces are cut from their Hermann Oak Midgrade leather, but I wouldn’t have guessed that as their is only one minor flaw on both pieces; I only lost about 0.1 sqr. ft. of leather total. The pieces are almost perfect rectangles with nice straight edges on all four sides (one piece is curvy on one side, which is expected as cows aren’t shaped like rectangles, however, they generously measured a 3×1 rectangle and left the curvy end on it which gave me some extra leather). Both pieces are very uniform in thickness, varying by less than 1/32″. I will absolutely buy more leather from here in the future.

Great piece of leather. This is my first order and I have learned to be careful what I ask for. I ordered a 11-12 piece of leather and boy is it thick. It looks great and is very soft and I am looking forward to working with it.

I had really high hopes of finally finding a reliable place to order tooling leather after I ordered a small piece that was really nice. After receiving two 2×3 pieces of different thicknesses I was pretty disappointed. The pieces I received were wrinkled beyond use, some of the worse leather I have ever ordered. I have had it sitting in my storage room for months and will never use it. The search continues.

Most of the piece I received is nice and clean, but one hand -size piece is so bad that I’m going to need to dye it to use it.

Beautiful piece of leather for a good price and the piece was a few inches bigger than described. So, 5-stars.

Was totally elated with my last purchase. Superior, top quality, # 1 product. I was actually surprised that the sheet of leather I received was so good. I used it on my crafts projects ( two 18” American Native Medicine Shields ) the left overs I’ll use to make chokers, wrist bands, etc…
Keep up the good work guys. I ordered another sheet yesterday. Very happy with my purchase. The photo is of a unfinished shield, but the hard part is done. FYI : the leather was thick, but actually easy to cut.
Once you know the trick. 🤣

First time I purchased something from Montana Leather. Leather I received was exactly as described. Very pleased with what they sent me. Will definitely order more different leather pieces in the near future.

This is some of the most consistent leather I have ever worked with, and although you can expect extremely minor blemishes, its perfect for any project you have in mind. I make holsters for a side business, and my customers are always satisfied and impressed at the quality of the leather. Thank you for your quality products Montana Leather!

I’m fairly new to leatherworking but, I was trying to find a better place to buy leather. I ordered a small piece that I thought was a good quality. You can see in this picture that it is has waves (un-even) and has lines the length of the piece. Maybe you can direct me to a place I can buy better leather.

Hey Art! Sorry to hear you’re not happy with the quality. Perfection is of course never a thing with full grain leather, but it does look like you got a piece that we wouldn’t normally send out. I’d be happy to arrange for return if you’d like, just give me a call or email and ask for Pat.

I work around moving conveyors and have caught my shirt sleeve more than once.
Made a set of bracers so that won’t happen anymore.

Better than expected. Received a phone call from the company about product not available in ordered thickness. They were great in explaining a substitute. The leather is beautiful. Order arrived in a few days after placing.

I called and ask if it was supple, or soft and was told it was, but it is not. Perhaps I need to send them a piece that I got else where so that they know what soft is, meaning not stiff. There service was fine though.
Pat@MontanaLeatherCompany (store manager) –
Hey David! I’m not sure how the confusion arose exactly, but veg tan leather like this is generally as stiff as it gets with leather. We can arrange for a return to be made on your current piece, as well as find a better match for what you need. Just give us a call at 406-245-1660 or email us at mail@montanaleather.com.

Blotchy, varying thickness, much of the 4-6 sf piece is unusable. Premium HO? I doubt it, never again.
