bitone40 Report post Posted October 3, 2010 hey guys , I have been fishing here in the galveston area and have been catching alot of black-tip sharks from 2 ft to 6ft and also stingray all the way up to 100 lbs. I am a holster maker and it never dawned on my to possibly keep the fish to save the skins for leather work, I can give the meat out so it will not go to waste , I have been letting them go every time , ( i dont eat shark and stingray ) , is there anywere online on how to treat the skins into leather or is it to much trouble ,I can not find anything online about the tannin process and I know you guys and gals know something about it . Thanks guys for any help you can give me ben Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
