About Brain Tanning: An Easy Guide For The 21st Century
After practicing this ancient craft for many years I know there are a number of books currently available on this subject... So why another book on the subject? First I have been studying and working with this method for almost 50 years. A tremendous amount of experimentation and research, in addition to blood, sweat and tears has resulted in experience only time can provide. My former teaching companion had close to 55 years of experience at the time of his passing. Paul learned first hand from his wife's (Kiowa) grandmother in Oklahoma. It is our combined knowledge that I will share with you. Second, while there is information available, in either printed or video format, I feel that many people are often given erroneous, misleading or insufficient information. The result is readers are often left with more questions than answers. Third, brain tanning simply does not have to be as hard, mysterious, time-consuming or as smelly as many people would have you believe. In fact the job should be relatively easy or you are doing something wrong. Dick Walsh, author. Includes historical information, how to obtain hides, the making of all tools needed and instructions for Fleshing, Framing, Membraning, Graining, Braining, Drying, Softening and Smoking Hides. The book also includes Tanning with the Hair On, Cleaning Buckskin, References and numerous pictures of the tanning process, tools and items the author and others have made from brain tanned hides. A new refreshing voice with a natural ability to communicate and teach others.
