How to tan with natural materials.

Introduces the tools, equipment, and techniques used in tanning hides and tells how to make useful objects out of leather.

Here is the complete guide to a skill that may be mysterious to some, written by Monte Burch, an authority who practices many of the traditions of tanning and hiding. Starting at the beginning, Burch introduces the hunter to the tools of a tanner, and even gives complete plans for making many of these implements. Instructions are given for making fleshing beams, stretchers for pelts, fleshing knives, and many others. He also covers tanning formulas and materials, both traditional and modern. From the oldest method to the newest twist, Burch's guide will be indispensable to the modern hunter.

Takes the reader through every step of the hunting / marketing process -- from selecting the right guns and ammo to coping successfully in the wilds and preparing the hides for sale.
