Hello everyone,
I have started to work with leather and I am trying to figure out about buying leather. I have bought some hides and expected them to be irregularly shaped but expected the hides to be symmetrical comparing the left and right sides of the hides with the backbone bisecting the center of the hide.
The hides I receive are definitely far from symmetrical and I suspect that some of the hide is missing. Also when I compare the square footage stamped on the hide compared compared to my measurement shows a hide that is around 10% smaller than marked.
Is this normal or am I being cheated?
Thanks in advance for any response.
