Members Maker77 Posted November 28, 2023 Members Report Posted November 28, 2023 Can you wet form deerskin? if so, what are your thoughts on how well it holds up over time? Does it take small details well? I’m sure it would need to be veg-tanned deerskin as well. Thank you for any help on this. Quote

Contributing Member fredk Posted November 29, 2023 Contributing Member Report Posted November 29, 2023 I have wet moulded thin deerskin. It was about 0.8mm thick. Nowt fancy to the moulding; it was just moulded over a shape, then glued down. Its such a long time ago I can't remember the details. But, the deerskin held the shape well Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..
CFM chuck123wapati Posted November 29, 2023 CFM Report Posted November 29, 2023 it depends on how it was tanned. Veg tanned i would think yes however i have never tried any I knew personally was veg tanned. Brain tanned yes if it hasn't been smoked to much. I have some bought years ago I have no idea the tanning method but that piece wont wet mold at all I feel its chrome tanned. We tan our deer and elk with the brains and they will harden up if not worked until dry then smoked. If you have a piece then cut off a small piece and try it.

CFM chuck123wapati Posted November 29, 2023 CFM Report Posted November 29, 2023 i pushed the button before finishing lol. Details ? its way to thin to tool or stamp if that's what you mean. The natives dyed it, painted it or added designs in other ways with other materials. As far as holding up it would depend on its use, a knife sheath for example would last a life time treated right while mocs probably wouldn't.
