In this guidebook, you will learn how to naturally fat tan your own hair-on sheepskin.
You will learn how to use natural fats (e.g. eggs, olive oil), smoke, a few hand tools and a lot of elbow grease to transform a raw skin into a beautiful pelt that can be used in various leathercraft projects (including making super warm clothing!).

Some of the topics covered are:
- how to find sheepskins for tanning
- how to flesh a sheepskin
- how to make your own homemade tanning solution

ATTENTION: The photos of this book are all in black & white (see images). The original book contains colour photos. However, in one of the reprints, the books were printed in black & white by mistake, which are otherwise in perfect conditions. Due to the problem of the colours, I have decided to sell them with a big discount (limited to stock available).
