I would love to see your beaver tail work KOSOI please post pics.

These are the tails I made. they are very soft. you can paint them any color you want.

KOSOI, those look wonderful. They look as soft as deerskin.

Kosoi, would you care to share how you tan those tails?

yes how did you tan them

I would be interested in learning how you tanned them.

Thank you for sharing. I assume the first few pictures are the way they look after the tanning process. And the ones with various colors are after they are dyed.

The place that did mine explained that the tail lost it's natural color during the tanning process and they offered 16 colors of dye to choose from. I had all of mine done the same color.

I am interested in your tanning method also.

It's a long process. If I was fluent in English, I could tell you the secret. It's the way leather was made 200 years ago.

Beautiful work, kosoi.

I took the worst tails to try. and I think it turned out well. next time I'll show great work.

Wow KOSOI they look great. Tanning is truly an art form of witch there are many different ways. I can tell you take pride in your work.

Looks professional to me.

Just write in your language, we can translate, no worries, should be much easier for you to do
If you really do tan them your self !

Very nice.

Here we go again. I haven't said anything yet, and some people already have their suspicions.

I've written before that in the mid-90's I was a professional furrier. fur tanning and leather tanning are two different things. making leather is much more difficult. the whole process takes 5-6 days. it requires a lot of ingredients and chemistry. i just know it all and it was not very difficult for me. for a beginner it will be difficult. are there people among you who want to learn it?

" are there people among you who want to learn it?"

Yes Sir!!

KOSOI, I don't have the time to learn, but i sure enjoy seeing your results and how people make their leather products.

I had some super blanket beaver plucked and sheared , and a talented furrier make a most beautiful coat and matching scarf for me some years ago. The company , in Canada, who hand plucked the pelts were very generous in letting me know generally how they did it, with of course still keeping their time honored secrets in some details to themselves.

At very least, I enjoy seeing photos of your work.

Alexei, I would be interested in seeing how the other side of the tail turns out in your process. Here is a couple of pics from the tail tannery most of us yanks have been using: Specialty Leather. Now closed.

Very nice work on the beaver tails Kosoi.

I'll take some pictures soon

I am interested to learn how you do the tanning.
