This leather is particular because there are several types of leather within a skin:
- center with scales, which is the ostrich tibia (the upper scales may detach, you can use leather glue to secure them to the leather)
- side (small grains), which is the ostrich leg
- top and bottom, grains of varying firmness.
This leather is mainly used for decorating small leather goods (wallets, card holders, coin purses...), pouches, watch straps, or jewelry (pendants, bracelets, earrings).
It is best to favor small touches of material inclusion and combine it with another leather (calf or goat) to create contrasts and highlight the ostrich leg leather.
