Leather Tools
Looking for that special leather tool? Working with leather requires the right tools. Leather is a material created through the tanning of hides, pelts and skins of animals, primarily cattle. Cherished primarily as a clothing material, leather also conveys a sense of exotic elegance when used as a material for furniture. For more industrial applications, leather is used for machine belts, engine gaskets, adding luxury to automobile interiors and is suitable for wall panels in high traffic areas such as restaurants, bars and hotel interiors.
