Tanning is the science and art of turning perishable animal skins
into leather and furs. This age-old process can yield a luxurious
fur garment or an indispensable leather item, and no artificial
product to this day can replace or duplicate the properties of a
tanned hide.A hide is the outer tissue of an animal body made up on
once-living cells and their products. Tanning a skin involves
removing the tissues which cannot be converted into leather and the
treatment of the other tissues so they won't rot and will stay
flexible and strong. Advice on transforming skins into unique wall
decorations is also included, as are the how-to's of making gloves,
boots, moccasins, jackets and more. Interesting background
information adds to this comprehensive portrait of tanning. Facts
on animal skins - what they are made of and why they can be
preserved - precedes specific instructional sections, and a chapter
on pioneer tanning methods thoroughly examines the roots of this
art in Indian life. In these pages, Churchill gives you the means
to make the most of each 'catch', using tanning skills that can
equal those of professionals. Tanning also makes a satisfying craft
for beginners or accomplished tanners who would like to try working
with different types of animal skins or creating new products. This
is a complete guide of simple instructions you can refer to again
and again in preserving animal skins for years of future use and
enjoyment.
