I'd like to show an old fleshing tool, made from the leg bone of a moose, for the purpose of fleshing hides. This is a traditional tool still in use today by native peoples, though has been replaced for the most part by metal tools in many areas. This particular tool is of Dene http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dene origin.
