I have used what is called contact cement, which I have from leather working (e.g. Barge, Duall). I think you could also certainly use Gorilla Glue; my Awasedo came off its wooded base, and Jon recommended using the Gorilla Glue to reattach the stone to the base. If it will hold a stone, I am sure it would work for bonding leather to wood.
 
I find that 3M trim adhesive spray works great and allows for removal of the leather without damaging the wooden base.

Timely topic. I glued a leather slab to a block of granite with "Shoe Goo" this morning.
Smells awful but should stick pretty well. Beveled the edges with a microplane.

I use double sided carpet tape, holds well, no mess or horrid smells.
 
Thanks Dave. Wife's not home...needed something to do. Scrap stone from a local shop and a piece of leather cutoff from the 'bay. Cheap & effective. Now I have something to use that chromium oxide powder on.
