I am just about finished with a tutorial on how to brain tan an elk hide over on paleo planet. The hide is completely done, I just have to post the pictures of the final smoking. Which I hope to do tomorrow evening after I get home.
The hide came out great, I’m really happy with it.
Here’s the link.
thanks for posting this, it looks really beautiful. Do you know what it is going to become?
That hide was going to be a gift but the occasion for the gifting came and I didn’t have it finished, so I came up with another gift.
I’m really short on cash lately so I sold it to a woman I know from Douglas Lake, BC who makes mocassins. Tanning buckskin and making rawhide is what I do for money.
Hey Victor how much would it cost for a brain tanned elk hide.Would it be possible to ship it to Portland Oregon.
Sorry Green, I can’t send them to the U.S. anymore. U.S. Fish and Wildlife has hassled me to the point that I just don’t even try anymore. They are actually mistaken about the regulations they cite but I don’t have the resources to argue it with them.
