Ive done a few deer hides into rawhide. Been wanting to tan and smoke one. I picked one that had a lot of knife marks and figured had nothing to lose if it didn't turn out. I decided on soap and oil instead of brains. Softened most by hand over a cable and finished on a frame. Smoked hour each side. Im happy with it for my first. Look forward to trying again. I like camp fire smell but these are very potent for  first few days!

Morgan:
Looks great! That’s on my to-do list

Pat B:
Looking forward to seeing you in your new shirt at the Classic, Paul.  :OK

osage outlaw:
Very nice work Paul!

Hawkdancer:
Nice job!  Now you can try a prime hide!  A few hands full of safe might give a good smell, so read out over the smoking time.  Takes about 2 -3 deer hides for a shirt, if I remember right.
