Re: [VFB] How to preserve elk hyde?
Thanks Bill. I will try to find some one that already does tanning. I am not going to try to do it myself. Just looks too time consuming and expensive.

Alan, Any taxidermy shop can help you through the multi-step process, but an overview for tannning that will give you a soft leather hide like you find in shops is on Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanning It is involved, and when I wanted hides tanned, I brought them into a tannery and he added them to his batches for a minimal fee. My suggestion, if you don't actually want to learn it yourself. If you do, there's different methods depending on the results you want. I would love to know how Wapsi gets their hides done. The leather is awesome and the hair is never brittle. Hope this helps.

Re: [VFB] How to preserve elk hyde?
Looks like I will try to find some one here that will tan the hyde for me. It is way too complicated and takes a long time to do it , to say nothing about the cost of the chemicals. I have done the salt and borax and that just makes the hyde very stiff and brittle.

Re: [VFB] How to preserve elk hyde?
A friend of mine used to tack a hide to plywood and cover it with Borax and
leave it laying flat for about a month and his turned out pretty good but not
sure if he did anything else to it or not. I do know all the flesh has got to
be removed or it may rot I've also heard salt will work but never trying it
myself not sure what would work best.I know you can buy some stuff from
Vandykes that will tan a hide and it's powder form..
