I was looking into some buckskins yesterday and man were they expensive! Someday maybe... :rolleyes:
If you save your own hides and have them tanned then do your own work, it can be done fairly reasonable. I had a girl friend back in the early 90's that is Native American and had all of my deer hides tanned for her out in Sherwood, OR. Her mother used to brain tan hides, but it took a long time and was a nasty job.
The tanning was cheap back then, but I think it has increased dramatically.
