Hi bud. Do you know exactly how he did it?
I have tried alsorts with both rabbit hare and deer skins, using, saltpetre, borax, tbags, oak bark, etc, and i can never get them completly soft at the end of the process.
I have heard the red indians used to chew the hides
I just used salt nd scraped it off with any skin .. no expert but I moved it every day for a weeks and re salted it ,,
Did they dry quite soft and supple though Micckey?
It was years ago. I moved it about didnt let it set stiff scrapped it then re salted it, If you leave them too long they set rock hard ...
