Blog and website: www.skillcult.com/blog Instagram and Facebook @SkillCult Typical steps in bark tanning (aka vegetable tanning) are as follows, after skinning the animal, the hide is fleshed to remove flesh and fat from the skin. This and many other steps besides fleshing deer hides are carried out on the tanners beam with the fleshing knife. If the hair is to be removed, it is usually soaked in wood ashes or lime to loosen the hair. The hair is pushed out with the fleshing knife in the unhairing or dehairing step. The alkali from the lime must be washed out or neurtalized. Repeated washing and scudding with the fleshing knife as when fleshing deer hides(scudding is scrapping to flush and clean out the skin fiber) returns the hide to a relaxed state and removes lime and dissolved material within the skin. Then the skin is tanned in tannic acid contained in the barks, roots, leaves and fruits of certain plants. Once the tan has penetrated all the way through the skin, the hide is finished by either softening, just drying with oils, or compressing it further to make dense hard leather. Tools used in softening are the graining board, and softening stake as well as the hands. For compressing, traditionally, wooden mallets are used to pound the damp skin. Leatherworking and leather working tools are an almost totally separate trade with it's own set of tools. #barktanning #hometanning #vegetabletanning #leatherworking #lostarts #vegtan #traditionaltanning #selfreliance #tools #tanningtools #tanning
