Hermann Oak carving and tooling leather is the top choice when looking to create deep impressions and fine carving details. These large hides dye evenly when doing custom dye and antique work, while also achieving rich vibrant shades when oiled. Generally a firmer option when compared to other tooling/strap leathers on the market.

Founded in St. Louis, Missouri in 1881 by Lewis Charles Hermann, Hermann Oak® Leather Co. has been producing top-quality vegetable-tanned leather for generations – using the traditional pit tanning method since its inception, making them one of the few remaining tanneries in the world still employing this technique. Their commitment to this time-honored process, without cutting corners, is essential to the superior quality of their vegetable-tanned leather, making it worth the extra time, effort, and cost.
