"Before tanning the leather, the first step is to clean it, try to wash off the blood and stains on the fur as much as possible! If it gets hard over time, it will affect the quality of the hide!"
The large piece of hide was directly thrown into the water. After pausing for a few seconds, it was then rinsed back and forth to clean off the mud and blood.
"After initially cleaning the hide, the second step is shaving, which involves using a small knife to scrape off the grease, residual meat, etc., from the inside surface of the leather! Making the entire surface as smooth as possible!"
This step requires a higher level of skill, and if mishandled, it will affect the quality of the hide! Excess grease and fascia will deteriorate over time, not only emitting an unpleasant odor but also reducing its storage and usage time.
However, the skinning part we handled earlier was pretty perfect, leaving little residue, so the difficulty is much decreased!"
