How is leather carving done ?

Leather carving is a type of leather work where pieces of leather are cut using fine tools to create a design or pattern. Leather carving can also be combined with other leather crafting methods like burning or stamping to add unique designs in the project. Carved leather is known to be “tooled”, because a tool was used to create the shape out from raw leather. Usually carved leather can be seen in belts, saddles, shoes and other leather crafts, and it can also be used as an individual piece of art.

There are many tools that can be used in carving leather, after carving the leather is allowed to dry.
