bullmastiff 615 Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Heard somewhere that the animals brains will cure it's skin? scrap it clean, rub in the brains then stretch it out or something? Rabbit brain just big enough to cure a rabbit skin cow's brain just big enough to cure a cow's hide etc. etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
