Framed beef rawhide
BowEd:
Made a little progress with the hide.We finally got some rain free weather.I sanded the flesh side and dehaired a bit.
Pappy:
Looking good 👍 Pappy
Eric Krewson:
You have a lot more get up and go to tackle the job than I do, then again I am a decrepit old guy.
BowEd:
Thanks fellas.It's sort of a user friendly type procedure.No time restraints.It'll get done when it gets done.I'm thinking by the end of the week,if it does'nt start raining again.
Your brain tanning some deer hides too are'nt you Pappy?
Instead of just leaving it as rawhide as I have some already I've had some crazy thoughts of bark tanning it.I do pride myself on doing all this myself.I've done that before but I really don't care for the mess and time that it takes.Summer would be the time to do it.
There's a tannery a few hours to the north of me that chrome tans and dyes leather.I was thinking of calling him too to see if it could be tanned cheaper because of my pre prepping work.I've walked around through his tannery before.
I'm 67 but don't really feel that way Eric.Cut and split my own wood yet.Another 10 years could be a little different.....Ha Ha.

Thanks for posting this Ed. Always enjoy seeing your work. Sure I will learn something.
Could sure use a little of that rain you’ve been getting. It’s really dry here.
