Synopsis

This book is the third edition of a practical, not theoretical, treatise on tanning, aiming to give readers detailed instructions on improving their leathercraft. Its author has decades of experience in both the craft and teaching it, and he has collated both his own knowledge and that of other experts for the benefit of the reader. Inside, you will find not only methods for creating specific traditional products but explanations of the underlying science behind them. Many of the formulas and processes in this book are either unique to it or have been thoroughly tested and adapted by the author. It is an ideal resource for both experienced tanners and beginners, with a wealth of information on topics such as selecting the right materials, preserving them, treating them with chemicals, dyeing them, finishing them, and even tanning unusual materials such as woolskins. It concludes with a series of valuable patented processes.
