I just finished tanning my first deer hide following John mcphersons guide, now I've finished smoking it its a lot stiffer than i thought it would be, not horrendous by any means but not as nice as i expected, i rolled it about and worked it trying to increase its flexibility but to no avail.What could have went wrong? I'm thinking i didn't stretch it enough but im not sure. Going to start work on another skin tommorow so need to know what could make it like thisCheers
