I've heard you can break the hide by putting them In the dryer on no heat with some tennis balls
Tried that when the Ms. wasn’t home. Didn’t work for me.

Don't add the heat. We did that once and the hide came out looking like a little fawn hide. Although it turned out nice it really shrunk. :chuckle: opps

Is it expensive to have it professionally done?
I had a deer done by Promise land Tannery here in WA. I think they were around $150. Good turn-around and nicely tanned.

Those look very nice and clean,They look very soft. :tup:Thanks, it’s very time consuming and a lot of manual labor. Sometimes I wonder why I always take on so many tanning projects in the winter. It took a long time to figure out how to make them so nice. When I first started tanning they turned out horrible.

That's great to know, because my first go on a deer hide was embarrassing. I've just got it rolled up because I don't figure there is any real use for the hide with such a trash job done.

I have been tanning hides for 8 years now and have used many different methods.Through trial and error I have found that McKenzie tan works best for me. . They always come out really nice and soft.Those look amazing, do you tan professionally?
