Oak tanning hides?
Anybody have a good information on oak tanning hides? I know a little, but I am basically wanting to tan without using chemicals, and without using feces, or brains.
IE I know I can use a mixture of wood ash and salt before bating, I know I can use a boiled down oak bark solution for the actual tanning. I am looking for some what to do bating without having to use manure, or heavy chemicals. IE another bark/ash/etc solution. I have heard folks can use lye soap for bating but cannot find a reference to back it up. Thanks GoodOlBoy

GOB;
I don't know anything about oak tanning hides, but did you check the firefox series of books? Seems to me that if there was anything of a 'pioneering' nature, that series of books had some information on it. Good luck...........
