What is tooled leather?
Tooling leather is any type of leather that can be used for tooling, generally it is vegetable tanned leather. The vegetable tanning process makes the leather softer and easier to work with. And since it is often pale brown or white after the tanning, the leather can be dyed to the desired color.
