# We did also make leather for
um...slightly odder customers. There was one customer who wanted an entire room upholstered in unfinished leather. I guess some people find that sort of thing quite sexy but without the varnish on it, it will stain really easily with any body fluids.

# Not too bad.
Most of the 'smell' of leather is due to the chemicals put on to tan it and preserbe it.

# Oh don't ruin the magic.
The tannery place in Nottingham smells horrid.

# True
Actually the smell is more from the chemicals used after tanning to make it soft and pliable and colour it.

# Well whatever it is that makes it smell nice
I love it very much. My saddle stinks of saddlesoap and horse now.
