Kubilo of the green wood was a man who lived in the town of Brill in about ca. T.A. 1700 as a tanner.He was a bachelor in his early thirties. When the tanyard came to him seven years ago, he purchased some land outside Brills walls and moved the yard there. People were very pleased, since tanning leather was a smelly affair. Like Duffy of the Nobwood, Cob was a decent but not extraordinary craftsman. He produced good leather for everyday use and met the needs of the Brill-Men. He worked primarily with cow-hide, sheepskin, goat skin, and occasionally deer skin. Cob was a careful worker, primarily because he was not fond of his trade, but was too proud to allow himself to be accused of shoddy workmanship. His primary desire lay towards farming, and to this end he kept some cattle and sheep and was saving money to buy some land.Kubilo was courting May, one of Will from the Thistledew's daughters.
