Thread: New TM - Horsehide?

Yup- leather is skin and so it varies... every animal I've skinned/helped skinned (kudu, warthog, sheep, cow- and I've even tanned a lamb/sheep skin) has had variations- scars, "ripples" and in some cases, thick/thin spots etc. The good thing about TM (and kenrup and all those strop guys) is they actively check the leather and don't use any hide that has detrimental variations.

I think the nice even colouring in latigo and other every day leathers is most a result of dye rather than ultra pure, evenly coloured leather
