fulveland Report post Posted June 9, 2015 (edited) A leather worker was using these at the viking festival in Bukkøy. Has anyone else seen bone leather-working tools, or know how historically accurate they would be? Edited June 9, 2015 by fulveland Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnv474 Report post Posted June 17, 2015 I would imagine they have been used extensively in various ways. Our ancestors used whatever was available. Besides the ubiquitous bone folder, I have also seen creasers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

penguineer Report post Posted September 16, 2015 Interesting idea, but I'm not sure about historical accuracy......anyone know if the tanning methods of the period would be able to be tooled? I know they did use a number of bone tools and adornments such as needles and combs, but bone seems to be an odd choice for something that should be struck....... Cheers!

Colt W Knight Report post Posted September 16, 2015 (edited) Pretty cool read about historic tooling of leather http://www.personal.utulsa.edu/~marc-carlson/leather/leather.pdf Here is an example of "tooling" like we use today from the 8th century where lines were cut and beveled. http://www.personal.utulsa.edu/~marc-carlson/leather/leather.pdf The article states early stamping tools were carved intricately into wood, and didn't last very long.
