Leather

Oak timber → Oak bark → Leather → Bellows

Picture to come.

Animal hide made durable by tanning. Cattle hides were soaked in lime to loosen the hair, scraped, then left for many months in pits of oak bark and water. Lighter skins could instead be 'tawed' with alum and oil to give a pale, supple leather. Leather was used for shoes, belts, sheaths, harness, saddles, bottles, bags and bellows, and tanning, a smelly trade, was often pushed to the edge of towns.

Caveats (confidence: high)

Alum for tawing was an import; its availability in 12th-century England was not checked in detail.
