Notes: Aragona is a premium Italian vegetable tanned leather with an appearance of a leather that's been sitting inside an old barn for decades.  It looks like it would feel rough, but it's been ever-so-lightly buffed (i.e. sanded), so the grain is silky smooth.  It doesn't feel greasy or waxy at all, but it has some of the most dramatic pull-up I've ever seen.  And, it's actually relatively dry, which makes it very easy to glue and burnish. 

GRADING:

- Grade A - Great quality, very little to no flaws beside what is mentioned above.

- Grade B - Not-so-perfect - will have more noticeable range marks or scratches, broken grain, or slight color variation over a small portion of the panel. 

Please note: There may be a slight variation in color between the product photo and what you receive due to differences across dye lots and the natural characteristics of leather.
