What is a veg tan tooling leather piece?
Veg tan leather pieces from Hermann Oak are easily one of our most popular items. These are small vegetable tanned pieces of leather great for tooling, stamping, and carving the artwork you dream of making.
When do people use it?
Our customers opt for these pieces when their projects call for a small amount of veg tan leather. Knife sheaths, holsters, wallets, and bracelets are common crafts. You can even learn how to make a Sheridan style flower, or practice other projects that require carving and tooling. If you’re interested in learning the differences between veg tan leather vs chrome tan leather, check out this guide.
What sizes and thicknesses are available?
We offer a full range of thicknesses from 2 ounces (1/32 inches) to 12 ounces (3/16 inches). The piece is exactly 3 or 6 square feet and usually measures 3’x1′ or 3’x2′, but can vary slightly in length or width.

I had really high hopes of finally finding a reliable place to order tooling leather after I ordered a small piece that was really nice. After receiving two 2×3 pieces of different thicknesses I was pretty disappointed. The pieces I received were wrinkled beyond use, some of the worse leather I have ever ordered. I have had it sitting in my storage room for months and will never use it. The search continues.

Blotchy, varying thickness, much of the 4-6 sf piece is unusable. Premium HO? I doubt it, never again.
