<p>87.3.120.52: </p> <hr /> <div>[[Image:Phdinoleatherpic.jpg|thumb|right|200px|A [[Leather dying|dyed]] leather carving.]]<br /> '''Leather carving''' entails using metal implements to compress moistened [[leather]] in such a way as to give a three dimensional appearance to a two dimensional surface. The surface of the leather is not intended to be cut through at all, such work being known as [[filigree]].<br /> <br /> The main tools used to &quot;carve&quot; leather include: swivel knife, veiner, beveler, pear shader, seeder, cam, and backgrounder. The swivel knife is held like a pencil and dragged along the leather to outline patterns. The other tools are punch-type implements struck with a wooden or raw hide mallet. The object is to add further definition by them to the cut lines made by the swivel knife.<br /> <br /> In the United States and Mexico, the western floral style of carving leather predominates. Usually, these are stylized pictures of acanthis or roses. California, Texas, and a few other styles are common. By far the most preeminent carver in the United States was [[Al Stohlman]]. His patterns and methods have been embraced by many hobbyists, scout troops, reenacters, and craftsmen.<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> * [[Leather dying]]<br /> * [[Leather painting]]<br /> * [[Leather stamping]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Leather]]<br /> [http://www.crupisgallery.it/claudia/inglese/claudia_index_inglese.htm Landscapes leather carving]</div>
