Baiting
The large test strips were baited for the third time in the pepsin solution at 37 C. After several hours the fat had been removed from the pieces of hide and they were removed from the solution.
Soaking
The large test pieces were put in distilled water to remove the excess pepsin solution.
Debarking
Bark was removed from the oak branches using a draw knife to be used as a vegetable tannin. This bark was placed in distilled water to extract the tannins.
Alum Tanning
The piece of hide in the alum solution was left in solution to continue the tanning process.
