Deer hockskins
primitivepaulette:
Couple little things I did with some hockskins quite some time ago. I have a lot more hockskins in the freezer that need tanned! People drop off a lot of legs and I spend days it seems skinning them. Had some strangers come by and had heads all over the back porch and hockskins dangling all over the place.. some real carnage back there!I think I had the young fellow pretty creeped out. Maybe that's a good thing.. lol.. I don't know.

Niiiiiiiice!

THANK YOU ;D I'm going to make some more one of these days! :-\ Have so many things going, getting anything done isn't so easy! have about four or five more deerskins to clean up to put up to tan at a later date too! Bout ready to go out and blow flesh and possibly some hair all over the yard with the pressure washer. It's not going to be pretty.. well the skins might look better.. good thing it's 56 degrees out here in northern mi.. can you believe that? well at least I won't have to worry about frostbite doing this stuff! feel sorry for the primitive persons who depended on hides and skins for warmth eh?

Braintan is very much an all season material....cold as hell in the winter and hotter than blazes in the summer!
richardzane:

I remember the first time i saw one of those hockskin flaps on a bullet pouch in a museum as a teen and thought, wow...i gotta learn to do that!
but i never did! great job!
