It has a paper like feel to it and usually the leather no longer sweats grease. Look for the soft spots that are white in color, I usually spoon those or shoe horn will work too.
Good question. If I'm selling it this will sell as a finished product. I generally like to keep in the deep freeze and away from mice, just in case. Otherwise, I will ship to a tannery and the options are endless on what to do afterwards. I've given these to my landowners before as gifts, they love them. Some make all kinds of garment pieces. Get enough together and they would make a great bed spread for a king or queen!
Thank you! Some good points there for me
Glad it was helpful!
Great video
How do you know when it's done drying? Just a certain amount of days or are you looking for a particular look?

What do you do after the fur is dry? Do you soften it?
