Description
Caught in motion this man is stretching a hide which is part of the process when making soft buckskin from a deer hide.
I learned how to tan hides in the traditional manner that the Native Americans did by attending a workshop and took some photographs while I was there. . The animals used were road kills and supplied for this event. Nothing was wasted, we learned traditional brain tanning skills used by Native Americans. The end result was warm and soft hides which can be worn and appreciated in the winter months.
