Hi, I'm looking to have a bit of a play with some furs, skins & leathers. However I am a bit of stinger when it comes to money... I don't like spending it if I don't have to.
Im after curing/tanning a few furs without spending the money on soaps etc. I was told by a female bushcraft instructor at the bushcraft show back in 2011 that every animal has enough brains to tan it's own hide.
So can anyone help me with this? Is it tue & has anyone done it / give me directions on how to do it... (I'm looking to start on a bunny)
also is it gory?
oh and when it comes to an urea deer hide (none silicone type) could I say it with th jack yoke spray and waterproof the base?
regards leaf 177
