Old Pictures

Hi Y'all!

I have not blogged for something... I have been very busy with college and life. I just got back from a wonderful week at school for seminars and tests! I was blessed to stay with the Reyenga family.


Anyways here are some pictures from last summer! One of our Aunts had a baby deer that her son found. We went over to visit before she gave the deer over the proper people.








Hope you enjoyed!

Our Deer Tanning Story

Hi Y'all,

Here is our deer tanning story in pictures.

Tacking it up

Ready to be scraped

Knife man!!

Working...

Fleshing

Close up

"I don't want to touch it with my hand"

Time to go into the tanning vat. Our tanning solution was: sulfuric acid, salt, and water

The vat which the hide was in for about 3 weeks.

Mixing the rinse which consisted of: borax and water

Squeezing out the hide

Into the rinse

The hide after the 30 Min. rinse


Tacked up to dry

After a week it was too dry around the edge and too moist in the center...So we rinsed it again and hung it up to dry

After it had dried enough to apply the needsfoot oil it was molding. After trying to deal with the mold we cut out three sections that had tanned properly...

This is what we ended up with.

Any suggestions for the future? We had never done this before. We used Little Bear's outdoor guide for the first while (until we had the dry out problem). The we tried to use the Back to basics guide. What did I do wrong? Has anyone else had experiencing tanning?

In Christ,
Andrew
