 The first one has a window you can drop down. It has a list of other selections , alum tawing being one you might be interested in for furs.
 A good book that covers alot of info is " The Complete Book of Tanning Skins and Furs" By James Churchill
Have fun, its a lot of work.

Caveman:

Minuteman:
Not alot of info? ??? Did you read anything or just browse the posts?
 I have 4 deer hides in a bark tanning solution in my basement right now. put 'em in on the 5th of December.
 Don't tell me there isn't alot of info on those sights. You just gotta wanna find it.

Hillbilly:
There is no instant gratification in hide tanning. It's hard work, lots of it. But the end results are worth it if you stick it out. The process of braintanning is way too involved to get into in a post. I think there's a couple tan-alongs on here somewhere. If you want to learn to make buckskin, the first thing I would suggest is to order a copy of Matt Richard's book Deerkins into Buckskins, read it all the way through about ten times, then get some hides and start playing.
