<p>[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 482210, member: 8267"]Could be chamois. Both are essentially oil tanned, with the grain layer removed. It can be difficult to determine species when the grain is removed. (If the grain is intact, the hair follicle pattern can be diagnostic.) Native brain tanned leather was usually deer, elk, or buffalo, which often can be distinguished by their thickness. Chamois or sheep would be comparatively thin. And cow can be split to produce a thinner skin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
