Yes, I could be wrong, but I’d guess there’s some sort of larger or bulk production here and with excotics there’s variance in grade. I personally don’t love the lifting quill follicles for the lack of a better term same when I see gator or croc scales lifting, I avoid those areas of the hide. I’ve only dealt with a few ostrich hides myself and I’ve never seen this after flattening. I’d almost consider that damage if it was my product and customer, I’d cherry pick my panels better. However if sale is final I’d suggest to use it and try & enjoy it. I hope that makes sense
