I made my husband a beautiful long wallet from this leather. I love the pull up and the color is gorgeous. I have enough left over that maybe I’ll make myself something. It says 4-6 oz in the description and I think the piece I got was close to 6 oz. May have to try the other big sky colors.

Beautiful leather! First time ordering but my husband really wanted bison leather to rebind his Bible in. This was the most unique color as well as fair price. We are very happy with it

I love this Bison leather. I like that I get a consistent color between each side I get. Leather arrives in a good study box and sides I’ve gotten are typically 19’s and only a few holes around the outer with an occasional scar or set of scars. But if you make rugged stuff like I do the scars are welcome.
Overall: leather is consistent and around 19 and people love the pull-up so distress this leather as much as you can. Only the hard creases stay and the lighter ones relax and disappear as you can see in the photos.
(Picture shows the largest scar I’ve had on a side. Right in the middle of the spine of the journal. But again people love that in the leather.)

I’m terribly disappointed with the Tan Big Sky bison leather! The slightest scratches seem to scrape off the dye on the surface. Just barely drag a tool across the surface by accident and the hide shows scratches that ruin the appearance. It’s as though the mottled appearance on the hide’s surface is painted on with a paper-thin layer. I’m planning on selling mine at a discount just to get rid of it. This was a waste of my money!

Hey Tim, there is a wax finish on the big sky bison that gives it the appearance that it has. A firm fingernail will scratch the leather, but this is a common occurrence with many types of leather. However, if you thoroughly rub in some leather conditioner, you can restore most if not all of the original appearance.
