Soak in wood ash lye 2-4 days, stir daily. When hair pulls out easily, scrape off all hair plus the grain layer beneath.

Materiali per questo passaggio:

Rotten wood for smokingRotten wood for smoking1 fascio

Brain & Stretch

Mash one brain (or 3 egg yolks) in warm water. Soak hide overnight. Wring on a stick, then stretch continuously as it dries — 2-4 hours of constant work. If any spot dries un-stretched, it goes stiff.

Smoke

Sew into a bag shape, suspend over smudge fire (rotten wood). Smoke 1-2 hours until golden-tan throughout. This makes it washable — unsmoked brain tan reverts to rawhide when wet.
