Tandy Kodiak Leather

[Elwindil]

so I've finally started working with the leather I bought, it's quite supple and flexible, but thick enough for the pouches I'm making. it's also not a chrome tanned leather, at least from what little I know about such things. it seems that it would be quite water resistant as well, something I'm going to hopefully be testing out soon.

It is actually chrome-tanned leather.

Oil-tanned leather is not actually tanned with oil – it is usually a chrome-tanned leather that has been treated with oil to make it more weather resistant.

I've heard somewhere that some sort of similar chemical process similar to chrome-tanning was known, if not really common, in the old days.

What project do you have planned for this leather?

I've got a few pouches in mind for it. I think it'll work out pretty well for that.
