"I'm glad that it is DEAD." 🤣🤣🤣 I love these videos so much. Incredibly informative. I've been considering tanning hides from my brother's hunting for a few years now, and these videos have given me the confidence to finally take the first one out of the freezer! Thank you so much!

I worked a hide yesterday, and I'm sitting here right now with an extremely sore core section! I had no idea how much my stomach muscles would be engaged, I thought it would be more of my back and shoulders but nope it's all in the stomach you are 100% on that

Thank-you. And for the added tip about the utility of the hair, plus grain, as tree mulch. At one time the scrap remains from raw woolen treatment (a material termed 'shoddy') was used in West Yorkshire in England as a fertilizer for forced rhubarb in darkened sheds.

Hi Natalie, thanks for the video. I'm going to make rawhide for bowstring, but I'm not sure if I need to leave the grain on and just remove the hair, or should I remove the grain as well?

I'd give it little soak in 0.25% lye over night. Edge sharpened hardwood stick. Really effordless and fast. Hair litterally falls off.

Hi Natalie! Love your name! Can you explain a little bit more of what you meant about the shoe leather thing? What does the grain do for the leather to be considered proper shoe leather? I'm currently in the process of soaking some hides so that I can make a few things and I want to explore all of these options.

So you didn't soak this hide in anything before fleshing and removing the hair. Do I have this correct?
@davidlee9299
@davidlee9299 2 ай бұрын
Generally no need to treat the hide prior to fleshing... To get the hair off it is commonly soaked in lye solution until the hair slips easily... Then dehaired and or dehair and grain as she is doing here... She is making buckskin not a smooth leather...

Is it possible to leave the grain on for a different look to the leather? Or is this a cause for difficulty later?

The grain makes it harder for the fibers to soften during the stretching phase.

Like she says in the video, leaving the grain on is a step for a different kind of leather, not buckskin!

I am missing something on "soaking" the hide and properly "soaking". Are you soaking the hide in something that will make the hair/fur come out...? I've tried to search and have not found anything on soaking the hide?
