Makin' Leather is a hands-on guide to working with leather and rawhide from the ground up. Learn to buy leather, choose the right type and weight, and cut, punch, stitch, and shape it into clothing, moccasins, bags, sheaths, and more. It also teaches you to skin, flesh, and tan your own hides—by chemical methods or brain-tan primitive techniques—and even to make your own tools. Packed with patterns, drawings, and plain-spoken instructions, it's written for the novice yet useful for seasoned crafters.
- The complete A-to-Z: from skinning a fresh kill to a finished pair of moccasins
- Two paths in one book—authentic primitive brain-tanning AND modern chemical methods
- Dozens of real patterns: clothing, footwear, bags, sheaths, cradleboards, and more
- Written so a total novice can follow it, with humor that keeps it fun
“Tanning saves money and imparts a mighty good feeling when you are wearing something you shot, skinned, tanned, and made totally by using your own ingenuity.”
Perfect for a hobbyist, hunter, survivalist, or mountain-man reenactor who wants to tan hides and make their own leather goods from scratch.
