Book Reviews of Home Tanning And Leather Making Guide

Book Review: Everything you need to know, from skinning on
Summary: 5 Stars

This has been in print so long because it is so good. Written by someone raised before gobbledegook became so fashionable, it is clear, practical, and as simple as it can be. Only a live teacher could improve on it. Gives several methods of treating hides, including making the invaluable "prairie iron" rawhide, buckskinning, actual tanning, and tawing (tanning with the hair on). Especially good for estimating times and amounts.
