Alum Tanning
The alum tanning paste was scraped from the first test strip and a new layer was applied.

Vegetable Tanning
300 mL of distilled water was combined with 100 mL of quercitannic acid solution obtained by soaking oak bark in distilled water. The second test strip was added to this solution. I plan to gradually increase the concentration of the solution to which this strip is exposed.

Trimming
A third test strip was cut from the large hide

Soaking 




The third test strip was placed in distilled water to remove salt and blood.
