    Nice work on the bear skins. Lot of work to doing them. First time I actually seen this done. Thanks for showing this process. Learned alot on how it's down. Take care.

    • @DanielSturge
      @DanielSturge  Před 2 měsíci

      I'm happy I could help show it. I hope it encourages other to try it for themselves. Way too often skins get discarded because getting them tanned is too expensive. And that's a real shame. I'm a big advocate for using all the animal or as much as possible

    Thanks for your video! I followed this and your other video from a year ago and I am at the thinning/softening phase! I am wondering though, is it recommended to wash the whole hide after the tanning? I see that you basically just wiped here and there with soap...

    • @DanielSturge
      @DanielSturge  Před 14 dny

      @BozhidarS personal preference but if you get it wet and allow to dry again it will shrink. So ensure to keep it Strunk up before drying if you want to avoid it shrinking

    • @BozhidarS
      @BozhidarS Před 14 dny +1

      @@DanielSturge Thanks! I didn't use the frame technique for this hide (first one I ever did) and it did shrink a little bit, but all and all I like the result! I might wash and rehydrate it to get it more souple and frame it so that it's easier to thin as there is some membrane I have to get rid of still...

    • @DanielSturge
      @DanielSturge  Před 24 dny

      Someone does not thin it too much because it's a rug and it's not recommended for longevity as thinner hides wear and slip much faster
