Difference

Quebracho tanned leather differs from many other vegetable-tanned leathers because it uses tannins derived from the quebracho tree, which produce a denser, firmer leather with a deeper natural color. Compared to lighter vegetable tannages like mimosa, quebracho tannage typically results in higher density, lower stretch, and less water absorption, giving the leather a very solid feel and excellent shape retention. It also creates crisp tooling impressions with sharp cuts and deep detail, though it may require slightly more effort when cutting or casing due to its firmness. The natural tannins also contribute to the leather’s distinct reddish-brown tone, rather than the lighter tan color common in many other veg-tanned leathers.

Reviews

Nice quality of leather at

"Nice quality of leather at a decent price."

— Barry W. (5/5)

Great, firm, blemish free leather

"Currently working on the project I bought this for, the leather is cutting and taking oil beautifully. I received a 10. 5 sqft double shoulder with virtually no blemishes on it besides some expected stretch marks near the edges. I will be ordering this again. I wish Weaver's quebracho sides came in 6-7oz because I would buy them instead."

— Rob L. (5/5)

Reasonable price and very good

Nice product

"Nice product"

— Gary C. (5/5)

"It's a beautiful piece of leather. Takes carving and tooling like a champ. Not too stiff, thankfully. The smell is unlike any other leather I've smelled before. . . it's almost intoxicating. I need a quebracho leather cologne ASAP Oh and good price, thanks Weaver fam!"

— Nicholas (5/5)

Smaller than advertised

"The leather feels fine and looks good, but was definitely smaller than advertised. Average size is 5. 75 for shoulder so double shoulder should be around 11. 5. Mine was 9. 5, if I knew it would be that small I would have bought from somewhere else due to the cost per Sq ft. Again leather feels fine, Im attaching a video and picture for example it's not perfect quality but acceptable for the price"

— Sam (2/5)

Leather Feels good, smaller than advertised

"The Listing says 5. 75sq ft per shoulder, for a double shoulder i got 9. 5 instead of around 11. 5. The leather itself is good, the back is pretty clean and it feels and looks nice."

— Sam (3/5)

This leather surpassed my expectations.

"This leather surpassed my expectations. As always, Weaver only settles for the highest quality."

— Alex B. (5/5)

Firm feel. A little darker

"Firm feel. A little darker than other veg tan. Used to make a bottle holder. Takes dye well. Slicks nicely. Will buy again"

— Mark H. (5/5)
