Smokin a few
« on: April 19, 2015, 05:34:24 pm »
Got up early and tried to get a few braintanned hides finished up need to be smoked, Wind finally picked up and makes it hard to control to smoke, but helps to air out the couple i did get finished.  Bob

Look great Bob!  I really have to stop by sometime.  I have been researching how to brain tan hides.  Planning on trying later this year!

Could you guys just stick them in a smokehouse instead of the stove pipe method?

Steve, some guys do build a box and do lots of hides at a time. I believe smoke is more consintrated in 2 deer hide bag. On the other hand sewing, stapling 2 hides togeather is a pain in the --- . Bill, way to old for full hidetanning :o :(. Bob
