I'm trying to brain tan my own hides but am unsure when I have fleshed down enough for the brains to penetrate proper. I did it wet with a dull knife, and took off a good layer mostly in one piece. When I started I could pull the membrane 1-1 1/2" from the skin, now they is a tiny bit, just enough for me to grab and pull it just a little. Does that have to come off too???
I cracked the skull for the brain but found so little I couldn't imagine it covering the whole thing. I think I will just wait until we butcher a cow or pig this week and harvest that for my needs.
