Steer Going on to His Great Reward
« on: October 05, 2014, 09:50:56 PM »
But I have had the shop save me the hide. I will be getting it and tacking to a 4x8 plywood and scraping. A bit of sun to dry and what do I need do beyond that to tan it up. Or what do I need do after tacking to plywood. OR what after getting it out of the bag or back of truck.

My first shot at something like this. Help!!!

Nemo,
Do you want the fur/hair to remain on the hide or are you going for straight leather?

He is a pretty big guy.  I anticipate cutting it into a couple pieces and freezing most of it. I plan on pieces about 2 foot by 3 foot. I anticipate about  5 or 6 pieces.  I will be working on them one at a time and the first one/couple? will be full hair on.  Then leather depending on how those go.

I bought brain tanned deer hides from these guys back in the day. They are also a good source for ground black walnut powder for dying.

Good place to start. Good people to deal with.
