>>1715202I ended up using the "Deerskins into buckskins" book and found it adequate for teaching yourself. It leaves a little that you have to interpret, but I can confirm the egg tanning method is easy and straightforward.
I've never tried the brain tanning method, I'll get around to it one of these days. But I have tried the ash bucking with hardwood ashes and that works really good.
ALL of the buckinners books are top tier /out/ books in general, I luckily inherited a complete set.
