You say 'how do I make leather'
An old woman says 'Leather is one of the most useful products in the world.'
An old woman says 'Quite a lengthy process to go from a freshly skinned animal hide to fine supple leather.'
An old woman says 'The best leather comes from cows, oxen and bison.'
An old woman says 'First thing you need is some items: a knife, some willow bark, soap and oil.'
An old woman says 'Next thing you need is some willow bark for the tanning.'
An old woman says 'Whenever you have skinned an animal, let me examine the hide.'
An old woman says 'If it is not a skin of sufficient quality it is no use investing time and effort in it.'
An old woman says 'Then find a place where there is sufficient water and preferably a log of some sort.'
An old woman says 'Also a barrel.'
An old woman says 'Put the hide onto the log and scrape the fat and flesh from the hide with your knife.'
An old woman says 'When you have done that you will have to put the skin in the tanning pit.'
An old woman says 'Also put the bark in the pit.'
An old woman says 'When the skins have tanned rinse them with soap by putting them in the barrel.'
An old woman says 'Then you have to get the skin out of the barrel and rub oil into it.'
An old woman says 'Should you need leather straps, you can cut the leather.' Give Scalp Woman
