Smoking sheepskin – the natural preservation method! 🔥

🔥 Smoking sheepskin – the natural preservation method! 🔥

Smoking not only makes the leather more durable, but also more water-resistant. 🌿✨ With a simple setup consisting of a metal bucket, charcoal, and rotten wood, you can gently smoke the hide until it reaches the perfect tan.

Whether you use an old pair of jeans as a smoke chamber or another construction – the important thing is that the smoke permeates without an open flame. After a few hours, you'll have a wonderfully durable and soft sheepskin. 🐑💨
