VEGETABLE TANNED
THE SURFACE IS NATURAL GRAIN.
The tanning is very professional and done perfectly.
Temper has been achieved using fatliquor. Therefore is not 'greasy'.
The back (flesh side) surface has been skimmed to provide an even overall thickness to the hide and to give a very nice smooth suede like surface (not brushed).
A NOTE ABOUT THE QUALITY:-
Most hides available for tanning are a by-product of the carcase abattoirs. These are not, but were professionally produced solely for the purpose of making finest quality. They are from country areas with ideal conditions for high quality hides and have been skinned and tanned with care. The end result is this presentation of the highest grade possible. Just look at the photo.
100% renewable and sustainable resource.
Before harvest it is never treated with chemical dips or drenches of any kind. Neither are the native grass fodders.
To avoid chemicals we freeze our hides at the point of harvest. Thereafter the only treatment is the actual tanning. Frozen hides are preferred by our tanners, salted hides tend to produce inferior product.
IMPORTANT :
From skins obtained totally lawfully under a regulated program administered by Queensland Department of Environment and Science, who govern quotas, licencing & strict codes of practice. All were skinned accurately by professionals and tanned by a professional commercial tannery licensed under DE&S Qld rules.
Only species subject to habitat-threatening overpopulation are allowed by the DE&S program.
You will get maximum usable area out of each skin. They are not reject grade or from unwanted stock, like some listed on eBay.
