This short book is a clearly-written how-to step-by-step manual for brain-tanning large animal skins. The topic centers around moose skin, but the instructions can apply equally to elk, bison, caribou, deer, and other large animal skins. The author provides a high-level of detail about skin-tanning both with primitive and modern technology. A highlight is the description provided about how children can turn animal skins into buckskin by using the skins as trampolines. The book includes multiple color photos which visually display the tanning process at its various stages. Those seeking practical advise for getting skin tanning projects started and completed will appreciate this easy-to-follow guide, authored by a hunter, skin-tanner, and ancestral skills practitioner with three decades of experience.
