Make Leather Armor Cheaper

Leather armor is, right now, actually harder to acquire than iron armor, meaning it is essentially useless to new worlds. Making leather armor in the early game is a waste of leather we desperately need for bookshelves. As-is, its sole purpose is decorative. I think that's a shame and would like to see it used more!

My idea is simple: Make leather craftable into "culled leather", with one leather providing 4 culled leather, similar to logs -> planks. Culled leather is then the ingredient used to make armor.

This would allow a full set of armor to be crafted with only a few cows slain, making it a highly viable early-game option while preserving the rarity of leather for other crucial items like books.

    Leather and something such as sugar or a bucket of water could make culled leather, and when you are culling the leather it could be the only time to dye it
