The kayak was an important part of the hunting equipment.... Inuit men made the frame of wood and bone. They pieced the frame together with sealskin rope and wood pegs. Prior to the introduction of commercial wood, frames were made of driftwood collected from the beaches. The kayak frame was covered with watertight skin. Traditionally, the seal or caribou skin cover was scraped of all hair and sewn into place by Inuit women.  1, record 6, English, - kayak%20frame

In general, a descriptive term applied to a leather having a characteristic drawn-grain pattern, originally produced by an astringent tannage, but now produced by hand or machine boarding of vegetable or semichrome tanned goatskins and sheepskins, or vegetable tanned sealskin.  1, record 8, English, - levant

The traditional "levant" used in bookbinding is a vegetable tanned goatskin. When the pattern is produced by embossing, as it frequently is, it is called "levant grain." The original levant, which during the past one hundred years or so was considered to be the finest of the morocco family, was always goatskin obtained from the Near East. In recent years, however, the best levant has been tanned in the northern and northwestern areas of Africa and usually finished in France. Today the great bulk of genuine "levant" goatskin comes from South Africa and is called "cape levant".  1, record 8, English, - levant
