Although this question gets asked many times, I'm glad it does.

I thought I was going to be able to process and tan my own hides in a reasonable amount of time, but I think I'm going to buy all my skins (and rawhide) from now on.  I just can't see the benefit of tanning my own if I need more than 2 hides a year.  Doing one or two skins is enjoyable, but I found that more than that will wear me out.

Home tanning hides is for the hard-core primitive enthusiast.  If you are one...then dive right in....you'll love it. ;D

In my opinion, and to answer your question, you make furs and buckskins the same way, and here are the steps to both:

Buy or trade from a reputable source. ;D
