Nice work on the bear skins. Lot of work to doing them. First time I actually seen this done. Thanks for showing this process. Learned alot on how it's down. Take care.
@DanielSturge3 ай бұрын
I'm happy I could help show it. I hope it encourages other to try it for themselves. Way too often skins get discarded because getting them tanned is too expensive. And that's a real shame. I'm a big advocate for using all the animal or as much as possible

@BozhidarS personal preference but if you get it wet and allow to dry again it will shrink. So ensure to keep it Strunk up before drying if you want to avoid it shrinking

@@DanielSturge Thanks! I didn't use the frame technique for this hide (first one I ever did) and it did shrink a little bit, but all and all I like the result! I might wash and rehydrate it to get it more souple and frame it so that it's easier to thin as there is some membrane I have to get rid of still...

Somebody needs to take more time skinning
@DanielSturgeАй бұрын
Someone does not thin it too much because it's a rug and it's not recommended for longevity as thinner hides wear and slip much faster
