I'm new to preparing skins. I have rabbits that I breed for meat. When I skin them the skin is generally in good shape so I was wanting to use the skins for a blanket or something, (yes, lots of skins.) Anyway, I don't know what to do after I skin the rabbit. Do I cure the pelt? Do I tan the pelt? Does the pelt need to be made into leather first? Is curing and tanning the same thing? Is this even the right place to ask these questions? If anyone has any information that would help I would appreciate it. I posted this in the BackyardHerds forum to just in case.
