Wickett & Craig Carving Crust Leather, Belly, Havana

Wickett & Craig Carving Crust Veg Tanned Leather Belly - Havana

** Please note: Bellies are typically considered scrap leather. They are good for small cuttings and for practicing your leather work. Bellies will have areas of looseness, holes, scratch marks, and other blemishes. Our Wickett & Craig bellies range from about 3-5 square feet. We have these split down to weight at the tannery. The back side of the belly is not refinished and therefore has splotchy areas of Havana color and other areas of natural color throughout. **
