His own book* and government contracts state chrome tanned ....
*Also Cow hide
*Also Cow hide
It's also worth pointing out that modern chrome tanning is different from chrome tanning from the early to mid 20th century.Good to point out that along with paper mills ,tanneries are hugely polluting to watercourses. Some modern tanneries don't use chrome for this reason.
I am not going to go into the differences between vegetable and chrome tanning, that can be found in great detail on the internet far better than I can summarize or paraphrase.Can someone explain how these two types of leather differ and can they identify the tanned leather by sight ?
