cj, Rich is very well qualified in answering your question. Your better off leaving the tanning to the professionals |

Thanks Joe, I am only trying to save the guy the time, expense, and trouble of doing it himself, and not turning out right.

Depends on what you'll be using the hides for, the type of tanning you want. For furbearers a hide that's soft & flexs w/o slipping hair send it out! I had coats made a few years away I think I paid like $35 a beaver tanned & sheared., $25 coyotes, fox & coons __________________ |

go check out taxidermy.net, anything you want, they'll point you in the right direction. Otherwise, stick with what Rich said, without tumblers, fleshing machines, and some other expensive stuff, you'll never produce leather products even remotely close to what a commercial tannery can do for you. __________________ To kill a big buck, you're going to have to shoot a big buck
