Leathercraft, Leather kink, Leather history
Leathercraft has been around for a lot longer than some would think, the first evidence of scraping animal skin for tanning was found to be from about 400,000 years ago with stone tools. {source: rivercityleather.com}
From cavemen to cowboys to bikers to rockstars, to sexual dominants, we associate leather with many things, ultimately at its very basics, leather is animal skin. Most leather as we think of it is from cow but leather can realistically come from just about any animal with fur or scales.
Leathercraft as we know it is a hobby in which one makes things from leather, historically it was less of a hobby and more of a means of survival. There were times in history in which animal skins/hides were used as clothing or shelter to keep rotected from the elements. There have been leather articles and tools found all over the world from various time periods, native americans, egyptians, ancient greek and rome, along with many other cultures have been found to have used leathercrafting techniques and tools that we still use even today.
