This is what I'm here for

Probably not very doable. Happy to guide or suggest methods etc. For sheepskin I have only ever acid tanned. Not the best but its easy and works well enuf

Gm nostr. I whipped up some moccasins for my daughter using some buckskin and roadkill mink. I think she will like them. https://image.nostr.build/7ed0a48818b1e1be4571f8a039ca3660b30fe88ad4e73d92a6626847bc210333jpg

Send me an image of what you are thinking of style wise.

All kinds of stuff. Moccasins, mittens, wallets, misc. I really want to start making larger garments but need to practice

One day I'm going to make pants or shorts. I have a pattern made from an old pair that fit well but I think should make a test pair and then adjust if I need to and then try with the buckskin.

The hide is dry already. Smoking is the last step in braintanning and is a curing method. The smoke impregnates aldehydes in the leather which ensures it will never go back to a harden rawhide state. It adds colour but this will fade over time and washing.

Gm. Imagonna smoke some hides today! 8 in total to do. Have a great day. #homesteading #buckskin #deer #leather https://video.nostr.build/c6bcbeed9e5a9beb273e281059df7bd522586fb05fee58185ec31c50d18ea713.mp4

Gm! Exactly right! Also challenge yourself everyday. This is not always fun at the moment but its worthwhile when you see your results!

Some carrots to store. We had frozen soil a few days ago, so its nice to get these out. Still a bit more left to harvest. #garden #homesteading #gardening
