RE: DIY Bark Tanning Leather Naturally.
Great article I will be trying this very soon on rabbit and goat mainly but maybe I'll try it on hog or cattle also just to see since I will have them anyways.

rabbit will be the easiest and very quick- except they can tear easily if you're not careful!
goat and cattle will be tougher and longer.. you just keep changing out the tannins and if you have a farm you can just leave the vat by the barn and stir it occasionally. it shouldn't smell much (besides fermented black tea) after a few weeks and if the tannin gets replenished quickly. good luck!
Thanks I was thinking of looking for a hot tub that holds water with a cover for larger hides to soak.
