I tried tanning once, using kind of a sour dough. But there was something wrong with my process - it only turned all the fur loose... Due to lack of time (read = problems with managing by timetables) I haven't tried since, so I've been giving the pelts away to friends who have been tanning them for themselves.

For these last of rams what I now have, I feel that I really should try tanning.

There are couple of tricky parts when skinning a sheep, but otherwise it is rather easy.
