-The main tools used to "carve" 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.

-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.
