How do I tan this coyote hide with the hair on? Please tell me about using salt and using the brain.?
I have the brain, but I can't find much info on brain tanning. To simply salt the hide, my neighbor told me to use rock salt. A site I looked at later said "DO NOT USE ROCK SALT". What do you guys do? I'm also going to tan (hair on) a deer hide. I don't have the deer's brain though... So I'm going to have to salt it.
Brain Tanning
Materials:
• Pig or horse brain (pig brain may be available at
local butcher or meat market)
• Chlorine-free water
• Large board or stretching frame
• Smooth wooden tool such as a canoe paddle or
axe handle
1. Prepare the tanning solution by combining 1
pound of pig or horse brain with 2 gallons of
warm water. For best results, use untreated water
such as rainwater. If you do not have access to
rainwater, purchase bottled spring water at your
local grocery store. Water treated with chlorine
may reduce the effectiveness of tanning solution.
2. While the hide is still damp and pliable from
preparation and cleaning procedures, immerse it
in the brain tanning solution. Soak the hide
overnight.
3. Remove the hide from the solution. Remove a
majority of the solution from the hide by
squeezing it thoroughly or running carefully
through a clothes wringer.
4. Nail the hide to a board or stretch with a frame.
A smooth tool such a canoe paddle can be used
to work the hide. The hide should be worked by
pushing and stretching it in a stroking motion
until it dries.
For thick hides, some prefer to reapply the
warmed solution to the flesh side, cover with
cloth overnight and repeat step 4 to ensure that
the solution has been adequately worked deep
into the hide.

they have different methods of tanning on this site. I hope that this helps.
