The thickness was uneven, and it was stiff enough that it didn't "give" and grip the wood evenly. The wood tended to slip. I got it from a saddle/harness maker so it wasn't split leather. It was full thickness. It makes great pads for clamps and hammer heads.
The cork sheet works great. The thickness is very uniform. It's pretty durable too, and grips like crazy.
Sharp solves all manner of problems.
