A word of caution, if they aren't worked to completely dry they will harden. I made that mistake with the first ones I tanned and I never could get them soft afterwards.
THANKS.. That one came from a 4 month old doe.... I use the alum method..Demamma":34tmoq8x said:

thanks for the caution.. They have to be damp for me to stretch them. Then they dry and then i put the oil on them.3mina":34tmoq8x said:

They look great.
I just re-wet mine, or put them back in the alum soak. Did you use alum? If not, maybe the solution made them less flexible. ALum is known for making the softest, whites pelts.

Fantastic job, Mary Ann!
They look wonderful. I think I would "store" them on the arms or back of a chair- or even the headboard of my bed!

I found Alum in the Bulk Barn here in Ontario. Not sure if they are in the US.
