Words for different types of leatherworking [closed]

Question

I'm looking for as many words (and corresponding definitions) as I can find for different specific types of leatherworking. Archaic words are fine, even preferred. Of particular interest is a single word for repairs performed by cutting away damaged areas and stitching together with lanyard, if available. I'm looking for words related to leather crafting and repair, not so much production.

Multi-word terms that aren't specific to leatherwork or may only be read as specific to leatherwork in context (like "rip work" for the specific term I describe above) are probably not useful to me.

Answer 1

Lacing - a way of joining two pieces of leather with thin strips

saddle-stitch - a specific type of stitch used when both sides of the seam is exposed, like the edges of a saddle

skiving - thinning the leter at the edges to avoid a double layer at a seam

tooling - using a variety of methods/tools to impress designs into a piece of leather for decoration (much like copper tooling)

Oh, there was a Inuit one for softening the leather by having old women chew it - (I'm not being sexist or agest - the word is that specific ...) but I forget it - any Inuit leather worker would probably know it though.
