tooling leather

Tooling leather is a type of high-quality, durable leather designed specifically for decorative shaping and stamping. It has a firm, smooth surface that responds well to carving, embossing, and tooling techniques, making it ideal for creating artistic designs on items like wallets, belts, and other accessories. Often made from vegetable-tanned leather, it retains its shape and detail when worked on. Tooling leather’s thickness and consistency allow artisans to carve intricate patterns into it, resulting in polished, professional-looking finished pieces.
