Cow skin and cow hide are the same thing - the hair-covered skin of a bovid.
The process to turn cow hides into leather is relatively simple, although the work is labor-intensive and the chemicals are dangerous if you don't have adequate safeguards and care.
Once the hide is removed from the carcass of a cow, it is transported to a tannery. Any remaining muscle, fat and connective tissue on the "inside" of the hide is scraped off. The hide is then placed into a vat of chemicals that dissolve and remove the last of the "inside" tissue as well as the hair. (Warning: these chemicals will also remove the skin from humans who are not careful to avoid contact, and the fumes are also pretty toxic.).
Once the hair has been dissolved, the hide is scraped again to get the rest of the hair off. The hide is then tanned with a series of chemicals (see above warning) and then allowed to dry. Once dry, the leather is then beaten and stretched to make it supple, then is sent off for further processing. This may include tooling, shaping and dyeing, and ends with products such as car seat covers, belts, handbags, shoes, baseballs and other leather-based goods.
