Veg-Tan Side (media.piefed.social)

I recently ordered some 4-5 oz leather and it came in a few days ago. This a side, which is one full side of a cow.

I will be making a few minimal wallets and notebooks to begin with. I think I'll need to order a leather splitter since this is slightly too thick for a lot of smaller items.

I will eventually make a weekender duffle but will probably purchase another side for that.

Which is the head end? I'm having trouble getting oriented.

And you call yourself a doctor…!

The head is the bottom left with the back on the left and the belly on the right.
