    I used salt / kero 50/50 mix
    nailed it out on a piece of ply in a cool dry area with lots of air movement
    trimmed the meat fat off
    the fat will never dry. trim and scrap and trim and scrape till you get sick of it fuck it was a lot of work

    it finished up like a board then you have to break the fibers

    its not technically tanning after talking to my friend who works with leather he told me its just preserving
    mine was a tahr if that changes anything, still looks cool as fuck ten years later so im happy
