I’ve tanned a few furs using Boco’s guide and I’ve had good results. The leather finishes soft, not greasy or dry, and the fur ends up perfect.

However, I have a hard time getting the leather to a smooth finish. Portions of each fur always end up like the photos attached (a bobcat) - lots of tags that I usually trim by hand. The photo with the tape measure is before the final wash and the other is the final product.




My only guess is I’m not fleshing the membrane off completely?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

It's been awhile since you posted this. I'm having the same issue. Did you get any answers?

Great looking tanning job.

Hopefully Boco, or someone else, chimes in. I'll add that info to the booklet of Boco's instructions I put together. I've just about got a new edition ready to go.
