GoatLiz/1A2 | $19.95 |
This a popular product in Europe, especially among bow makers who sell their work internationally. This is an embossed small scale lizard skin pattern on an actual goat skin material. We also have this same embossed lizard skin pattern on buffalo hide material.
Manufactured by Paulus in Germany where they purchase whole goat and buffalo hides. With specialized equipment they scythe the material and mill press to less than .6mm in thickness before embossing the the lizard pattern into the material itself. The machines that can do this can only process the material in strips and so it is offered only in strips.
This material has the beauty of lizard skin without the difficulty of application nor the problems of international transport. Domestic animal hides do not have customs/transport problems/barriers.
When exporting, this should be listed as: "Embossed Goatskin Leather" with genus/specie being "Capra hircus".
