This vintage book contains a detailed guide to leather working. Profusely illustrated and written in simple, plain language, this volume is highly recommended for those with little previous experience. Although old, "Leather Work" contains a wealth of information that will be useful to the modern reader. Contents include: "Kinds of Leather and Their Treatment", "Design", "Tracing and Design", "Pyrography", "Carving and Incising", "Engraving", "Modeling and Embossing", "Stamping and Tooling", "Cut Work", "Applique", "Inlay and Mosaic", "Coloring and Gilding", "Illustrations", and "Patterns". Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction. First published in 1908.
