Thread: Stiff deer hide

Awesome cheers lads (and ladettes?!).
My plan was devised after some YouTube-ing and Googling
Being a stag the leather is pretty thick up around the neck so will try thin it out while it is still stiff, then rehydrate, then break it in as it dries this time.
I recall the ‘blue stage’ and worried I had mucked things up so good to know that the time to get stuck in.
Won’t be getting into it in any hurry but will try remember to report back …

Any feedback on the use of Neatsfoot oil, or is the line/hand cream a better option?
