Hey, I've been reading around for sheep skin tanning methods. Nowhere seems to have what I need. If it's possible could someone please give me a step-by-step method for tanning (i mean with the wool) and one more thing, is there any really hard to get ingredients that I would need? Thanks!

Me again. Also if anyone does give me what I asked could the finished product be washable? If possible. Thanks again!
You need 2 salt sodium sulfate overnite , then rinse litely ,then put in a formic acid or I think better Oxalicacid bath for 24 hrs.,then takeit out and apply either SYN-Oil TAN or Curatan and let set for about an hour,then wash in dawn detergent and Relax-R,then rinse in lysol water. You are now ready to tumble and mount or U can freeze till later.
