- Simon Fraser University. Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology - To prepare caribou skin for tanning, the hide must be scraped. All fat, meat and connective tissue must be removed before the tanning proceeds. This can be done with a knife made from metal or stone, but these are sharp, and often cut the hide. A better tool is made from the bones of the caribou itself.

- Deer Hide Tanning

- A good portion of your deer's live weight is made up by the hide. Having a tanned hide from a deer that you have taken can add to your sense of accomplishment. It is also a good feeling to know that nothing has gone to waste.

- Hide Glue Production
|
|
|
- Yes, from animal hides, almost any animal but primarily from cattle hides. This is simply because of the abundance of cattle hides due to the enormous world wide consumption of beef and subsequent tanning of hides for leather. The trimmed hide pieces (too small or irregular shapes to provide useable leather) are shipped to the hide glue plant.

- Adventures in home-tanning - Last year I decided to try brain-tanning a deerhide. I got a salted and frozen hide from Don Sarrazin in Innisville, Ontario. It came with the fur on it and lots of yucky meaty bits too. The first thing to do was to thaw it and soak all the salt out of the hide so I left it in the laundry tub in the basement for a day or too and changed the water frequently to get rid of the salt. The next step was to remove all the meat and gristle from the inside of the hide (the non-furry side).

- These images show the later process of tanning a mooshide. The hair has been removed, and the hide has been soaking in decomposed moose brain solution for several weeks. The solution keeps the hide soft after the drying process.

- Tanning Deer Hides and Small Fur Skins
|
|
|
- Because preserving hides and furs is a very old art, many successful methods have been developed through the years. Native Americans used wood ashes to remove the hair and used deer brains as a tanning agent. Squaws chewed the hides to produce a soft buckskin, but few modern hobby tanners would want to try these methods.
