The processing of hides and skins is one of the oldest cultural techniques of mankind. Today, mainly chemicals are used, but traditionally tanning was done with plant extracts, smoke and fat to make the skins durable and soft. This book is dedicated to the millennia-old art of fat tanning. The method described requires minimal technology, financial investment and space. The simplest tools and pure, natural products result in wonderfully soft and durable leather products that can be made by anyone without prior knowledge. This book also details in many step-by-step illustrations, how to process the self-tanned hides and skins, and how to sew them into gloves, moccasins or hats, capes, jackets and simple utensils.
