How To Preserve a Hide for use in Leather making - could be a rabbit, camel skin, donkey skin, sheep skin, cow skin or goat skin. Fresh hides right off the animal should be cooled immediately. Trim off any flesh and scrape visible fat from the hide using a blant knife [ensuring skin doesnt get punctured]. Place the skin in the shade, laying it completely flat with the fur side down, preferably on a cold concrete or rock surface. When the skin feels cool to the touch, immediately cover the fleshy side completely with plain, uniodized salt.
