Leather Crafts Crafty Tip Full Grain or Top Grain Leather - This is the upper layer of a hide which is split into layers by a splitting machine to various thicknesses. The thickness can vary depending on the gauge set at the time of splitting and the application. Thereafter the hides can be colored & given various protective finishes. Uncorrected natural grain will show the natural scars and haircell patterns. Full grain or top grain leather is most often used for Upholstery, Garment, Shoe or Saddlery, because this is best, strongest, and most durable and valuable layer of hide.

Leather Crafts Crafty Tip Identifying Leather Wet a piece and then stamp a mark into it. If the mark has a crisp impression afterward, the leather is vegetable tanned. If the impression is just discernible, it is chrome tanned. If the leather is a chalky white color, it is probably alum tanned. Chrome tanned, undyed leather is a pearl grey with a faintly bluish tint. Dyed chrome tanned leather often retains a grey blue or white center core. Beware of chrome tanned leather for knife sheaths - it can corrode the metals.
