The Process of Best Tanning Leather
People have used leather to make clothing, containers for carrying dry goods and liquids, harnesses, bridles, saddles, shoes and a multitude of other products for a very long time, indeed. Leather can be made of any type of skin or hide; however, some types of skins are better for one purpose than another. For example, water buffalo hide is better for making saddles than shoes because it is very thick and tough. The most often used hides are from domestic cattle and sheep or wild elk and deer.
