curing a cow hide

[toilet digger]

tomorrow i MAY be able to get my hands on a coo wrapper and was hoping for some advice on methods for curing said skin.
i live in a flat so simples would be the key.
thanking you all in advance.

You need the services of a tannery if you have a cow hide and want leather. Google "making veg tanned leather" and you'll see it is a long, smelly and very messy process. The best you could hope for with a fresh skin in a domestic situation is to make rawhide. It is customary to cut it straight down the middle and do two separate halves.

got the skin off and decided to perhaps start with something a touch smaller.
