anyway, what I use is mostly the caps from Quercus ithaburensis, which are good if you pick them in time (I have lost 3 skins this spring to rot after placing them in a solution of acorn cups that have spent the winter outside… very stupid, I know. I can only envy those impressive forests there. I actually watched it while softening bark-tanned goatskin! well, acorn-cap-tanned, to be precise… did you just mention tanning material deserts? Hell, I seem to live in one.
Acorn tannin for tanning hides skin#
There are so many satellite topics I want to talk about! Definitely some stuff coming on axe use, wood splitting tutorials, forestry and forest ecology, and lots of tanning and skin working stuff. is all my idea of a good time! woo hoo! It’s really hard for me to cut these videos down and focus them in. Splitting wood, playing with wood, using my axe, burning brush to make charcoal, etc. There are few things I’d rather do with my time than that type of forestry work. In the video I show a few pieces of leather tanned with oak bark, peel the bark, split the wood and clean it all up. Writing, research and experiments around that project now consume most of my time, energy and thought. I’m working on a book right now on tanning with plant materials like bark, various leaves and pods and stuff like that. The second is a follow along while I cut down, cut up, and peel the bark off of a tan oak tree that is infected with the organism involved in sudden oak death. I talk a little about the breeding parents and related stuff, but it’s pretty straightforward and short, with a quick visit to my new pig.
Acorn tannin for tanning hides update#
One is a short update on labeling and protecting fruit that was pollinated earlier this year as part of my apple breeding project.
Here are a couple of recent videos I did on the stuff I do around here. THIS BLOG IS RETIRED, I’VE MOVED TO SKILLCULT.COMĪLL THE OLD TURKEYSONG POSTS ARE THERE AND MORE, CHECK IT OUT! The soluble quebracho extracts can be blended in any proportion with any other vegetable extracts, with phenolic synthetic tannins, naphthalene and phenol-naphthalene synthetic tannins, and can be used in any system of vegetable tannage (pit/drum, rapid and semi-rapid), in retannages of chrome tanned leathers where good fullness, roundness and buffability are required.Peeling Oak Bark for Tanning Leather and Apple Breeding Update The low acid content and medium salt content make the quebracho extract a mild tanning extract (low astringency). It has a very rapid penetration, a high tannin content (1200 to 1250 kg/m3 may be extracted, 38% of the total weight) and a relatively low content of non-tannins.
The remarkable tanning properties of the quebracho extracts, among other characteristics, make them the most widely used vegetable tanning product. The heartwood contains tannins, water-soluble organic substances of vegetable origin which can transform the raw hide and skin into leather. The tanning properties of the quebracho colorado were discovered around 1820. It has a very hard, red-colored, rot-resistant wood, suited for high-quality furniture. It can be found in the geographical region called Chaco, covering northeastern Argentina and southern Paraguay. Schinopsis balansae, commonly known as quebracho colorado, is a South America native tree.
