The Ancient Art of Braintanning

This is an encyclopedic information source for braintanning. Its only weak point is that the basics of ‘how-to tan a hide’ are buried in all of the information, which some beginners find confusing. Their approach is to give you a general knowledge of each step and then let you choose how to go about it. It is very rich in how-to information and recommended for any tanner’s library. The best illustrations, bibliography, dyeing chapter, troubleshooting, tool sharpening, and glossary of any tanning book. Good chapter on garment construction and a user’s guide to the various brain-tanning methods. Packaged with a steady flow of primitive post-industrial humor.

This book was previously titled “Wetscrape Braintan Buckskin”.
