Brain tanning hair on?

<< < (2/4) > >>

Hawkdancer:
Six of your buddies, steaks and beer, and have a zen tanning party!!  Ration the beer, though! >:D. Keep the stretching and roping going until the hide is dry to the cheek touch, then smoke with cool smoke(at least 10' from the fire, preferably more).

Stoner:
I did my first back quiver with hair on. Did not work it a lot and let it dry flat. Clean the back of any loose brain tanning solution, rolled and sewed. John

BowEd:
In time Stoner without any smoking or anything to your hide your quiver will run the big chance of getting ate up with hide eating bugs.

Mounter:
Does smoking hides work to keep bugs off? I know even commercially tanned hides are at risk anymore since they outlawed arsenic.
