No matter how much your daughter and granddaughter beg, DONT DO IT!. Lol. Daughter and granddaughter wanted a cow hide rug from one of grampa's cows, so we decided to do one. How hard can it be? Looks easy on the interweb. They lie tho, I'm surprised by that. I've been told that if it's on the interweb it's true. Lol. Anyway, we got started on it yesterday.
Washed it down first, that wasn't too bad. But scraping and cleaning was a chore. Scraping the meat and fat off took 4 hours and was HARD work. Then there were a couple holes that the butcher cut and needed to be sewn. Didn't realize you need a special needle for leather. Took 2 trips to town to figure that out. But it's clean, sewn, and salted now.
So 5-10 days of drying and then clean it again and tan it. Sure hope it works out, be a lot of wasted effort if not.
