<p>[QUOTE="smallaxe, post: 9583802, member: 13430"]Deerskin that has been brain tanned at top quality is more stretchy, soft and pliant than commercial/chemical tanned leather. It's also airy rather than dense. Brain tan leather typically has the grain removed. So beading with a hidden stitch that only goes part way into the leather (not through) is easily doable. Commercial leather is more dense, and often has the tough grain still on, which can be harder with a fine beading needle.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
