I imagine it would, although the right tanning/finishing process for  
the leather might help.

Actually though, I'd suspect a better question for you might be  
"Could you sew loops to it so you could attach ropes or stakes to  
it?" :-)

For those who are new, and haven't got the foggiest idea of what we  
are talking about, see this other Florilegium file:
