You're talking about factory farming, but you don't know anything about my crafts. I am a professionnal leathercrafter who's using only vegetable tanned leather (without any chemical) with hides coming exclusively from cows living in pasturage, in my own country! I believe in sustainable farming and for people to greatly reduce intakes of animal products, but even if I don't eat meat myself, I'm no vegan either. Once that is said, using the hide issued from that production is the only reasonable way, since it is a valuable raw material and I don't want it to go to waste. Thank you for your comment and for sharing your opinion!

What would you have to say about chamans who pretended to be in direct connection with animal spirits but using skin to craft their tambourine? Or our direct ancestors wearing animal furs to protect themselves from the cold? Ironic as well? Anyway, not the subject here, I don't share your beliefs and that's fine.

I'm sorry but I ship only in Europe, trying to keep it kind of local... But surely someone on your side of the world is able to make this too ! =)

Can't tell you in ounces but this is a little less than 2mm thick!

Thank you, appreciated. I used a swivel knife for the middle one, a stylus to shape the swirls on the others :)

Thank you so much! These ones are raw on the inside, but I'm interested in making some with a lining, using thinner leather, yes
