Heard a story a few years ago about a prestigious Italian buyer getting slapped with a $1M fine for bringing skins into Europe that were dressed with illegal to EU chemicals. But never know… could be BS or most likely a half truth.
Met one lady that wanted skins…. but desired brain tanned only cuz in her mind no chemicals…. No idea myself, dont brain tan! More peopleshould brain tan moose and elk and deer, big money in moose leather BT. Big demand, big shortage

Brained tanned is ideal for traditional beading. I’ve done a few and it’s a lot of work. In my experience scraping the skin to uniform thickness is key before tanning. Moose especially.
