Leather Scraps

I have more saddles and pairs of leather boots from fishing than I can manage. Can we please have a mechanic added to the game where leather items could be broken down into leather scraps? The mechanic could work similarly to how gold and iron nuggets already do - each item broken down produces one (or multiple depending on the item) leather scrap. These scraps could then be combined to make leather- 9 scraps, or possibly bundles - 8 or 5 scraps and a piece of string? We could also potentially utilize scraps for repairing leather items or add the leather scraps to an armor template for brown/tan details.

  LOVE IT!! Same Idea!! We REALLY need to be able to disassemble Leather Items!!!
   
  User Story:
  As a Minecraft Player,
  ..I want to be able to disassemble/take apart leather items,
  ...so that I can re-use the leather scraps on something else.
  .
  Detail:
  - Currently we can 'repair' leather and other armor, but putting 2 pieces of leather armor together. The resultant strength/durability is a sum of the 2 pieces. 
  - Currently we can smelt Gold, Iron, and Chainmail armor down into nuggets (regardless of the durability left on the item)
  -Currently we can NOT disassemble or take leather armor/items apart.
  .
  This capability could be added in such a way that the player could either disassemble Leather armor/items in either a
  - crafting table, or
  - grindstone (currently used for removing enchantments, but if an unenchanted Leather item were placed, it could render a "Scrap")
  .
  A player disassembling a leather item (regardless of size (pants / chestplate / helmet / boots / saddle) or durability remaining on the item, would receive one (1) 'leather scrap', which would roughly be equivalent to 1 rabbit hide.
  This provides some parity to the ability to reclaim resources from Gold, Iron, and Chainmail armor, in the Leather department.
