currier
Leather finishing craftsman
A currier is a person who curries leather—treating and finishing tanned hides by soaking, scraping, and conditioning them to make the material supple and ready for use.
The trade was once common enough to become a surname.
The currier worked the hide until it was soft and pliable.
