Hello Everyone,
Just wanted to introduce myself - my name is John and I am a leatherworker, traditionally trained, living by the river on the edge of Totnes.
I have been doing this for the past fifteen years, and try to keep to using natural methods as opposed to the more modern chemical alternatives. Most recently I've started to look at tanning - vegetable and brain tanning - all fascinating stuff.
Anyway, hoping to learn more about bushcraft and hopefully be able to offer advice / input from my area.
Cheers,
John
