Ostrich leather

Ostriches weigh about 150 kg and grow to 2.5 m. The meat and eggs are used as food, the skin is used for leather (including the legs) and the feathers and the egg shell are used to manufacture all kinds of objects. The bird is originally from Africa. There are other birds, from which leather is made. The Nandu from South America or the Emu from Australia. Ostriches and emus are also found in other countries.

Ostrich leather is generally processed as smooth leather and is characterized by its softness, as well as a pimpled grain pattern caused by feather growth. Since the nubs are not distributed all over the skin, more cutting waste must be taken into account, to preserve symmetry. Also, ostrich leg can be processed to leather.
