Anyone tell me a simple way to cure the skin? My 4 year old trainee rabbit butcher/bushcrafter/mad knife woman wants to do one every time we are doing rabbits.

Try these guy's for a tanning solution.

I spoke to them at the Midland game fait a few years ago and they sorted me out with a cheap tanning solution.
Just mix it up with water and it lasts for years.
I've done loads of skins for the guy's at my gun club (black powder shooters).
You jump the skins in it for 24 hours ,rinse and dry ,then work the skin to make it soft.
It's cheap ,simple and it works.
I tanned an otter pelt last year and it turned out absolutely fantastic.
Anyone worked with seal skin??
