You need not beat yourself up too bad if it does'nt come out as soft as you would like first few times.I can't remember how many I had to retry or rebrain back then before consistent success happened.
PS...I'd say that's an elk hide Pappy has got there.Pappys' got the perfect enviornment to brain tan soften hides.Plus with so many visitors help is'nt too far way either.
BJ...that's a nice job sewing those holes.
Pappy:
Nope not an Elk Ed, just a big old Tennessee white tail, about 185 field dressed if I remember right. Some of our deer are long and lanky and some are short and stubby, They say when they stocked them here in the early 60's some came from Texas and others came from WI. and they are totally different in body size. Still shows up today. Here it is when killed. :)
