Hewit Bookcalf Leather

Hewit Bookcalf is the finest quality calfskin for bookbinding available, and originates mainly from New Zealand and Scandinavia. The skins are vegetable tanned using Tara and/or Sumac. They are then aniline dyed and dried on a 'glass' drying machine to enhance the natural smoothness and beauty associated with this quality of leather. The surface is absorbent and lends itself well to additional dyeing by the user. Skins are available in the first, second and third grades.
