Preindustrial Craftsmanship 
Interesting article, it’s very important to know this natural process and its perks, especially if we use leather for clothes, tools or… Historical leather bottles! 😀
Few people see it. We only get the end product. Like so many things in the modern, disconnected world.
I agree with you. We must help the next generations to find a new way and I think the best starting point is our ancient history and ethnology.
Great article, I have done brain tanning, but never tried vegetable. Excellent photos, thanks for sharing.
