@BCRachelReed Hey nice one, so I just use Borax from the garden centre. the kind you use on potatoes. Does that then dehair the skin. I am new to this in a way. Thanks for your time :)
@jccrick123 hey you can make a lariot out of deer skin you would have to cut 1 forth wide strip round and round and round then wet it all down and strech it out it would be more than 100 ft the first streach cut into forths and weave it thanks . have a great day.
Thanks Mike. There isn't enough of these type video's warning people of the dangers of the acidic properties of wood-ash mixtures used in tanning procedures.
