Description
Chestnut extract comes from the wood of chestnut trees. It is a pyrogollol tannin, most typically used in moderately soft leathers, though it is found in a variety of recipes. It yields a color range between pale tan and brown. Use 1 lb per deer sized hide for soft tanning, though 2 lbs is more comfortable to work with. This particular extract is known as ‘sweetened chestnut’ as the pH has been raised for easier use. Basic instructions included.
