Over the years I have developed an interest in many things. Taxidermy is one of them. The school I wanted to attend here in Roxboro ended their program the year I moved into the area, so I've spent a great deal of time researching the net for what I wanted to learn. I have a specific interest in tanning hides.

I thought I would share my links with you. Hopefully they will come in handy. I've tried to include a brief description with each link, cause I really hate surfing for information and finding that search engines contain more commercial crap links than it does links that contain useful bits of information.

Soon I will be trying my hand at fleshing and tanning my first deer hide. A friend gave me a partial hide to start with and I have several salted in the freezer just waiting for me to find time to get to them. I've also acquired a salted and fleshed buffalo hide that I intend to tan using a commercial product.

If you want to know how this turns out or to see the pictures of the hide as I go, please take the time to join the farm mailing list. Joining the list won't get you spammed or anything but will save me the trouble of repeating myself a hundred times!
