Dry Scrapers
Lastly, a dry-scraper - any round scraper is a dry scraper
We have lots to choose from, because how a tool feels in your hands is paramount. And because, having two or three dry-scrapers to switch between is going to level up your hide work.
Choose one for now, or grab a couple if you’ve got the budget. Tools are an investment and you can take your time with them. Click any photo to be taken to the tool.
Softening Cable
The Softening Cable is an incredibly handy ally for hand-softening. Use this cable for your sheepskin cloth (we make one in Foundations) and for any other leather that you soften outside of a frame.
