There are many ways to tan hides. This 3-part online series shares how I work on hides year-round to make smoked, brain-tanned hide. This series is an accumulation of 8 years of knowledge gathering and skill building. I share from my experience, which is mostly with moose hides and frost scraping, however I will share a bit about dry scraping. The techniques I share can be used for other animal hides.
