This vintage book contains a complete guide to tanning leather, with
information on tools and equipment, required materials, different
techniques, benefits, common problems, and many other related aspects.
Easy-to-digest and full of invaluable tips, this handbook is highly
recommended for novice leatherworkers, and would make for a useful
addition to collections of leatherworking literature. Contents include:
"Leather Crafting", "Having Hides Tanned", "Buying Leather by the Side",
Home Tanning", "Tanning Hides and Skins for Leather", "Bark-Tanned Sole
and Harness Leather", "Chrome-Tanned Leather", "Alum-Tanned Lace
Leather", "Tanning Fur Skins", "Soaking and Fleshing", etc. Many vintage
books like this are becoming increasingly hard-to-come-by and expensive.
It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an
affordable, high-quality addition complete with a specially commissioned
new introduction on leather crafting.
