Ostrich Leg Skin

You might be familiar with ostrich leather, that unique-looking leather with the quill marks in it. In addition to the leather that you can get from the body of the ostrich, the legs of the ostrich provide another kind of leather that is very different in shape, size, and appearance. This leg leather is about 18” long and ranges from 8” wide at its widest point to 4” wide at its narrowest point. The skin of the ostrich leg is scaly in appearance, with many small scales on either side of the leg and a series of large, semi-rectangular shapes going down the front of the leg in the center (like a back cut python skin).
