[Ansteorra] Leather Working Question

[L T]

I don't think that it's as much of a quick and easy question as you might think...
but here are some sources that might help you answer it.


Darmuid's leather bibliography it might help...

and http://www.personal.utulsa.edu/~marc-carlson/leather/leather.pdf

The Archaeological Leather group's page...

Subject: [Ansteorra] Leather Working Question

Quick question about tooling leather. 
Are there any patterns particular to time and place that have been documented?  1350s Welsh is my chosen period but anything remotely close would be great.  Otherwise I'm just going to go with Images and patterns that have meaning for me.  More specifically I'm looking to make another set of armor that is tooled leather over kydex and just thought it'd be nice to go with something period if such a thing exists.
