Featured in this lot is this Top Grain Buckskin Tanned Leather hide, Light Saddle Brown. Buckskin is known for its soft and pliable temper and the distinctively rustic look and texture. Buckskin was brain tanned or tanned with fish oil or aldehyde or combinations of it. Some buckskin leathers get a finish on one of the sides. Brain-tanned leather is usually smoked heavily to prevent it from rotting. Another way to refer to buckskin is American or Domestic Deer. These hides are processed from wild deer and are typically 3-5 OZ in thickness, making them the perfect weight for garments, regalia, bags, moccasins, and much more.
