Tanning a hide on your own

[The Hedgehog]

I have a small black hide I'd like to tan on my own. I usually just flesh hides and take to the tannery, but aren't there kits you can purchase to do this in the privacy of your own garage? I wish garbage pick-up day was Friday instead of Tuesday.

No experience with his stuff but was thinking of giving a shot

Any Chinese restaurants still open?

I bought the following kit and tanned my own fox hide. I mostly followed the directions but didn't really measure ingredients or test pH and things turned out fine.

That's some funny chit right there.

No kits needed. The hide came with the tanning supplies...

You could just covertly place the animal in the middle of the interstate. By tonight the hide should be well tanned. The sun, hot pavement and tractor trailer tires will do a great job and cheaper that a kit

How about something similar to the pit bull hat?

Brain tanning? Wow, there's something new to learn everyday. Thanks for the great how to video.

Let me know if it works.... I'll send you a dozen or more from Idaho !!

On second thought I may take this to a professional. I'd like to life size mount this one to round out my local feline collection and display it in man cave. Is like the snarling dangerous pose, lifelike.

 

[Rat Fink]

That is a prime candidate for the stock tank dunk. Damn vermin.

Has anyone around Bozeman seen a black cat without a collar? My daughter has been missing her pet cat, Cecile.

 

[Elkmagnet]

If you ever need to catch more of them just set the trap on the hood of your truck that seems to be where they like to hang out.

Good luck with your project,might be better to go underground with the end result.

 

[Spitz]

Tan the hide and sew it into a pillow. Nothing but sweet dreams will emanate from that little slice of heaven.

Your neighbors cat, I am guessing?
