Greetings Magnus,

Could you pass this on to the folks who were discussing leather tanning?

Stefan
 
I don't believe I've seen any evidence of brain tanning used in Europe
prior to 1600.

For those interested in different types of tanning, although I don't
think there are too many specific directions, they might want to look at
this file in the CRAFTS section of my Stefan's Florilegium files:

lea-tanning-msg   (36K)  9/ 2/98    How to tan leather. Types of
tanning.

These other, similar files might also be of interest:
