Once salt is applied, you can take a break as this acts as a preservative. At this time it should be coated with pickling salt to the tune of at least 1/4" if not a little more. The hide will then need to be stretched and tacked down against a hard, flat surface. Dunking and agitating in a large bucket is usually adequate enough to remove any blood or dirt that may be present. In order to get started, you will first need to wash your rabbit pelts. Many of us have eggs in the fridge on a regular basis and if we happen to run out can easily buy more at very little expense, making tanning with eggs all the more appealing to try.
If you ask around, you'll be told many different processes, but one particularly easy option involves using eggs.
TANNING RABBIT HIDES SKIN
Truth be told, just as there are a million ways to skin a cat, there are about as many ways to tan a rabbit, or so it sometimes seems. Since no one wants to see their rabbit crafted items meet an untimely demise, tanning is a necessary step in the process. This means that beautiful project you painstakingly created will start to lose hair and essentially fall apart, nullifying the time and hard work you put into making it. A hide that is not tanned lacks long term potential and will gradually decompose. Although preserving the hide (removing any remaining meat and fat) is important, so is tanning. If you're going to begin using rabbit pelts for the purpose of making items such as this, there is a process you must first go through. Even items that you yourself may not need can be made with rabbit pelts to give you a more personal option when it comes to giving gifts around the holidays or for birthdays. In the event that a scarf or blanket is more fitting for your needs, they, too, can be made. If so, these can be made using rabbit pelts. Perhaps you live in a climate that is cold more often than not and would benefit from a warm hat and gloves. No matter what suits your fancy, rabbit pelts can be a part of it.
Lots of people use the pelt for various purposes the list of what can be made with it is quite long. Another viable part of the rabbit is the hide along with the warm, soft fur that is prized by many. While you are without a doubt enjoying this, each rabbit's usefulness goes far beyond what's for dinner. When your rabbit dogs are working like a well-oiled machine and you, too, are on top of your game, the end result is rabbit meat on the dinner table and in the freezer.
