How to bark tan furs. Easy way traditional hide tanning using tree bark.

Bark tanning is traditional and a fantastic way to preserve skins and make them soft, flexible, washable, and strengthen thin furs. Tannins in bark tan hides into leather. Thats where the verb "tanning" comes from. There are few people tan furs with this method anymore, but it works with the local plants of about every region on earth. Here I tan a mink, and start a couple muskrat furs too.
