Leatherworking

Leatherworking is the craft of cutting, shaping, stitching, dyeing, and tooling leather to create items such as belts, wallets, bags, footwear, and saddlery. Practitioners use specialized tools including skiving knives, stitching awls, edge bevelers, and stamping tools to work the material, often combining hand-sewing techniques with decorative tooling or embossing. It attracts hobbyists and artisans interested in functional craftsmanship, and ranges from simple DIY projects to highly skilled traditional trades like saddle-making and bookbinding.
