Hermann Oak Buffed Skirting 13/15

I was so excited about ordering from y’all .I couldn’t wait to get the Leather. I was going to make some belts for a craft fair in a few weeks. I received the Leather very fast. It was great size and had only one small blemish. I was very happy. I cut it into strips and noticed the Leather has wavy areas on both ends. I tried wetting and clamping between boards. They just won’t lay flat. So I might can make skinny people belts or dog collars. Plus the Leather was buffed to make it more even but almost a third of it is 7/16 inch thick. The rest of it is13-15 oz but too wavy. Not happy at all. I feel like I wasted my money. I won’t be able to make my money back on this one. Very disappointed.
