DEERSKINS INTO BUCKSINSHOW TO TAN WITH BRAINS, SOAP, AND EGGS
by Matt Richards
REVISED SECOND EDITION
******
Over 165 photographs and illustrations bring you step-by-step from raw skin to velvety soft buckskin and then show you how to create beautiful garments and useful goods. You will also learn how to make rawhide and hide glue, tan in a wilderness setting, and the best way to skin.
Buckskin is durable, soft, washable and warm. A hand-made garment for people all over the world for millennia, it breathes and stretches with your body, cuts the wind and won't tear on briars. It is excellent to wear hiking, hunting or around the house.
History, humor and science make this book not only practical, but fun. Designed to be easily understood by the beginner yet rich with details for the experienced, this book teaches tanning as a natural process. No chemicals are needed! All the tools and materials are waiting around your home and land. While the tools are simple, having a great method is the key. This book has that method.
Softcover. Revised Second Edition. 5 1/2x8 1/2. 240 pages. 165+ photographs.
