 The choice of tanager and leather is just the initial footstep in crafting leather.  Every individual skin varies in uniqueness and is dissimilar in parts, and will respond in its own manner to the tanning procedure. All skins are a fresh incident for the crafts man, as he cuts the pieces suitable to his job, and responds to the appearance of the skin, how the knife goes through it and how it feels in his hand. The talent of the crafts man is lesser in creation of a class piece from the skin than in creating a piece that brings out the beauty, quality and functionality of the leather. |
