The long dark cured leather

for providing the initial motivation for me to try my hand at tanning a complete hide. The hide looked very soft and flexible and hung limp like a blanket over the bed. So thanks to “livbucks” from PA. I read a post recently by a guy that had finished tanning a deer hide for his daughter. He said it was a fairly long ordeal (and he probably wouldn’t ever do it again), but it turned out beautifully and he had a picture to prove it.
