Leather carving is the craft of cutting into the surface of damp leather and using metal tools to create three-dimensional, textured designs. It works only on full-grain, vegetable-tanned leather, which absorbs water and holds a carved shape.
A finish is then added to keep them scratch and scuff resistant and prevents dye rub-off.
Vegetable-tanned leather, water-resistent, hand made by local aritst Xia Hines. Since these are hand made, some smaller details may vary.
