DESCRIPTION

Etrusco Vegetable Tanned Leather comes from Conceria Walpier Tannery in Tuscany, Italy. They are well known for their traditional methods of vegetable tanning with tree barks that go back 100's of years.

Etrusco is a beautiful rustic semi smooth leather. It is slightly softer than the buttero and rocky leathers made from the same tannery. It is full vegetable tanned and will patina nicely over time. This is their top grade, it is full grain and come in double shoulders which means no belly and a much higher usable hide. The colors are very nice and rich, it is full aniline meaning dyed with no color correction ensuring the leather has that natural look and feel to it. It is easy to cut and skive. It is some of the most versatile leather we have found. Their beautiful colors will provide near endless color options and combinations to mix into your projects.

LEATHER SPLITTING

Leather splitting is a custom service available down to your preferred thickness
Please note split leather can't be returned
There is a tolerance to leather splitting. While we have invested a lot of time and training into hitting a tighter tolerance range than advertised, sometimes the leather articles and differing densities require the full tolerance range.
Leather tolerance is denoted by /- which means the leather can be both above and below that number by the denoted amount.

Example 1.2mm /- 0.1mm.
This means that the leather could come anywhere ranging from 1.1-1.3mm across the hide. Most the time this amount is indiscernible to the naked eye, but should be noted if measuring with precise equipment

How we gauge the leather is with a thickness gauge that can reach both the edges and middle of the hide. We apply a moderate amount of pressure (Not too hard and not too soft)
Again our tolerances are tighter than the tanneries. We are usually well inside the range, especially on panels, but occasionally need the full range. Tolerance ranges are as follows:

Splitting Panels: /- (0.1mm).
Splitting Full Hides & Half Hides: /- 0.15mm
No Splitting (From Tannery Splitter): /- 0.2mm

The width of our splitter is 30 inches. If you have a hide that is larger we will trim the hide to fit and return you both pieces. We cut off the belly section leaving you the nicest area of the hide in tact.
Due to it requiring often multiple passes we do not send the split flesh part.
