Stretching and drying frame in the tannery

Stretching frames with clamps are used in tanning for stretching the leather. The leather is stretched inside the frame to create a smooth and flat surface. In most cases, this is done during the drying process. It is also to enable colour to be applied evenly on the flat, stretched, leather surface without any folds, to ensure optimum coverage.
