More on the tanning process

The hide has been soaking for a week now. I took it out this morning and started scraping the hair off.





















Before


















After
It took about 2 hours to get this far. I now understand why braintan hides are so expensive. It is alot of work to scrape these hides. It still has some hair around the neck area that would not scrape, so I put it back in the bucket to soak more.

The next step will be to stretch it on the rack to dry.

God Bless Yall
