Bundle of 5 stained strips. Choose wide or narrow strip size.

Made from the thicker back half of the horse hide, these strips are tanned alongside Horween’s Cordovan for the first 45 days using a slow and gentle veg tan / hot stuffed process to create a very dense leather that’s ideal for carving and cold molding.

Stained Russet Strips have cosmetic defects caused from tanning liquor pooling on the strip.

What’s the difference between Regular and Narrow?
Regular strips are approximately 8-11 inches at the widest point. The length averages 42-46 inches.

Narrow strips are approximately 8 inches or less at their widest point. They will vary in length, and will most likely be shorter than regular strips.

What’s the difference between Hard Rolled and Soft Rolled?

HARD ROLLED
The strips are wet and then rolled. When drying, the water makes the vegetable tanned leather firmer, thus the hard temper of the Hard Rolled Strips. Hard Rolled Strips are stiff and difficult to bend.

SOFT ROLLED
No moisture is added ahead of the rolling process. The mechanical action of the rolling process will naturally soften the strips. Soft Rolled Strips are more pliable and bendable.
