comanche 2,799 Posted April 1, 2023 Report Share Posted April 1, 2023 (edited) A while back l oak tanned a bit of deer skin and made a passable knife sheath . My latest effort wasn't quite as successful. What was supposed to be a soft leather pouch has ended up as a hard leather pot . I must've over estimated the time it needed to soak in one or all of the tanning baths . I boobed basically but kid myself that it's "All part of the learning curve ", rather than a stupid mistake . And I guess having a ram's scrotum on the mantlepiece could be a good conversation starter ! Edited April 1, 2023 by comanche 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
