	Leather tanning information
		Animal skins or hides are first "cured," a process which involves salting and/or drying the hide once it's been stripped from the animal.
		After soaking, animal hides are moved through a machine which strips the flesh from the surface of the hide.
		The hides are then transported to a large vat, where they are immersed in a mixture of lime and water, which loosens the hair from the skin.
