Ancient Earth Skills presents... Entire process of making buckskin from a whitetail deer hide! Step by step how to make buckskin video: from rawhide to soft supple leather. All stages: acquiring the raw hide, fleshing, 2 methods of bucking 1. retting with water, and 2. with lye flakes, removing the grain and membrane... rinse, and acidify... fat liquoring, conditioning/dressing and wringing, racking, softening, making the hide bag, and Hang it up and Smoke it! It a process that's for sure! Then some fun examples of things you can make. Enjoy the process and learn from my mistakes! I wished I had someone to show me the details when I first went to Tom Brown Jr.'s Tracker School! I came home, read every book I could find and proceeded to enjoy years of celebrating honest mistakes! Hehehe! Then after going to Roots School in VT and learning from them, I dialed in the process a little more. It's a lifetime of learning and I am grateful to all my elders and teachers and those who have kept these skills alive. Other inspirations and mentors included Buckskin Revolution, and Way of the Earth School. Thanks for all your hard work and dedication to this ancient practice! And extra special thanks to our dear Deer friends, who have given the ultimate gift of life. We are forever grateful! :-)
