DUE TO THE IRREGULAR SHAPE OF HIDES,
there will always be a certain amount of waste from each hide, typically around 25%. For clean symmetrical cuts, the cut area is approximately 4 to 6 inches in from the sides of the hide.
​
In addition to the irregular edges, there will often be scars, scratches, holes and brand marks that you will need to creatively work around.
