tanning hides ? worth the trouble ?

[justwannano]

There are lots of tanning methods.
I suggest going to your public library and looking for a good book on tanning.
The old timers used brain tanning. Every animal has enough brains to tan its own hide.
Next easiest is probably alum tanning. A more modern method uses chromium salts.I've seen tanning solutions sold in FurFishGame and several other outdoor magazines.
I bought a book Home Tanning & Leathercraft Simplified
It gives several tanning methodsand was quite helpful when I was trying to tan rabbit hides .

best of luck
