Detailed close-ups, a simple to follow style and 14 years of experience teaching thousands of people how to tan, allow Matt Richards to show you exactly what you need to know to successfully turn your deer, elk, moose or buffalo skins into the leather preferred by outdoorsmen and native peoples. Youll learn the traditional method of brain tanning as well as how to use a dozen eggs or soap & oil instead.
Buckskin is durable, soft, washable and warm. A hand-made garment for people all over the world for millennia, it breathes and stretches with your body, cuts the wind and wont tear on briars. It is excellent to wear hiking, hunting or around the house. Plus, you dont need to hunt. Deerskins that would otherwise go to waste are available every fall from neighbors, locals and butcher shops.
