Tanning
and preserving Deer’s Feet for making Walking Stick Tops The feet are
complicated things to tan, because you have some flesh and bones and
tendons as well. My suggestion is that you cut the skin at the base (not totally, leave it attached to the nails of the deer), remove all the fat and flesh and the tendons as well. Saw off the bone (leave some base where you can nail or screw the end of your stick. For the tanning since the feet are preserved in salt, you have to soak them back to natural humidity. |
