Deer Skins into Buckskins - 2nd Edition Book

Book: 240 pages, 150 photos and illustrations

2nd edition features a new 15 minute step that creates:

• Easier to soften Hides.
• Hides that come out super soft.
• Hides that take the dressing even when dry, which in turn:
• Removes the variability of trying to get the perfect moisture content before dressing.
• Makes it much easier to get complete brain penetration on thick hides, which makes tanning thicker hides such as moose, elk or even thick deer, way less work.
• Makes it so you can skip one of the wringing steps (which takes 15 minutes itself).

This step is such a great improvement that it has really motivated me to put out this new edition.

• Other key new highlights include:
• Different skinning cuts for a better hide shape.
• How to tan Moose, Elk & Antelope.
• Bibliography (thorough and user-friendly).
• Important improvements to the Bucking process.
• Important improvements to the Dressing step-by-step, to ensure success for first timers.
• A step-by-step guide to varying this books' Basic Method if you want to tan without the bucking step.
