Need some help on tanning mixtures and procedures

What kind of tanning are you looking to do? What hides to you want to tan? What are you looking to make?

In the last TBM, there is an article that look good, simple, cheep. that said, I don't know enough about tanning to say if it is actually any good!
Cheers

Google WASCO (Wildlife Artist Supply Company) or Taxidermy.net.  There are many tanning solutions... just keep in mind they (the hides)will be stiff unless you have a "squaw" to chew them! LOL.  You will have to break them if you want them soft.  Best bet for a blanket soft tan is to send it off to a professional tannery (google them too) and for about $35.00, you can have a butter soft hide.

Brain tanning leaves them butter soft as well and much more durable than comercially tanned hides.

I just finished 3 hides using eggs and following Matt Richards Deerskins into Buckskins book. Worked out good, I am real happy with the results, just have to smoke the hides now. My first piece of clothing will be a loincloth:)

If not brain tanning, manitou has the path to success.  Tanning is work, pure, simple and rewarding.  But it is work
