WHAT’S GOING ON IN THE FOREST?

My wife and I just finished this “Indiana Jones” hat. This leather was hemlock-tanned from a deer taken 2 years ago. I do the tanning process on the deer, taking it from blood and guts to leather. She does the sewing which takes quite a bit of patience with all those darn holes.

May the Forest Be with You,
