I was recently at the leather museum in Igualada, Spain. They had a large selection of Guadamaciles (spanish tooled leather). I have been trying to learn more about the techniques used in Spain during the 17th and 18th century and would love to know any thoughts you have on the subject.

Here's a link to a basic history. http://jorgecentofanti.tripod.com/jorgecentofanti/history.html

IMO for the best in depth study of the subject track down "Spanish Leather, A History Of its Use From 800 to 1800 for Mural Hangings, Screens, Upholstery, Altar Frontals, Ecclesiatical Vestments, Footwear, Gloves, Pouches and Caskets" by John W Waterer
