Do you ever salt it or anything crazy like brain tanning a deer hide?

[seanmulhall]

@sadeyedangel

I have never done brain tanning but have tanned with eggs, chemicals and the washing machine process. The only reason for not doing brains is because I normally keep the skulls whole for teaching purposes.

[SemeonDayDrift]

did you ever make the other part?

[seanmulhall]

@SemeonDayDrift

Not with this hide but I have made several videos on tanning hides.

Why do you have to get every bit of membrane off? Wouldn't leaving the last membrane on just leave a bit thicker of a hide? Or does it interfere with something, and if it does interfere, how so?

[seanmulhall]

@ElizabethIsabelle It will make the hide stiffer in the places where the membrane it still attached. It will be stronger but not so supple. Also the tanning solution make not penetrate that area properly.

@linaynayy I dont mean to be rude or anything, but when you consider that the meat is used to feed his family and that rabbit would have dies sooner or later, he's being a good steward of what God has given us. He's being humane by killing it before it was slowly killed by a coyote or starved to death in the winter time. If you really think about it, then this is the better way for it. It helps me to know that it doesn't have a soul, as well. Please think bout it. :)

And there you have it...you have a sock. xD

[Jacob14G]

[annlayc]

@annlayc No reply?

@annlayc @MaynkorX14 This is my answer to you.

@annlayc Pt. 2. whether it's dying or still living, if that's what your wondering. Because God gave us dominion over the animals, it's our responsibility to take care of them and to not treat they badly. BUT, we are not supposed to place animals at a higher value than humans. Meaning that a baby that is not yet born should be more important to us that a kitten.

[annlayc]

Pt. 1. Your soul would be the consciousness inside of you. Your spirituality, your reasoning, your personality. In the Bible, God tells us that we(humans) are created in his image and that we are given souls. No where does it say that animals have souls and if they did, it would have been mentioned in the Bible. I hope you don't think that I believe that they don't feel pain, they do, but, that doesn't mean they have souls. I also dont think it's right to torture or harass an animal

@annlayc how do you know it doesn't have a soul? define "soul"
