Oak tanning overkill.


Recommended Posts

A while back l oak tanned a bit of deer skin  and made a passable knife sheath . My latest effort wasn't  quite as successful.

What was supposed to be a soft leather pouch has ended up as a hard leather pot . 

I must've  over estimated the time it  needed to soak  in one or all of the tanning baths .

I boobed basically  but kid myself that it's "All part of the learning curve ", rather than a stupid mistake .

And I guess having a ram's scrotum on the mantlepiece could be a good conversation starter !?

Or Bear Grill's christening mug? I'm trying to think a use for it because it's sort of a good thing.
