@jenkinsthevalet Thanks for the update and good luck in your new venture ! People calling this a rug are really stupid. There is a difference between a rug and something just not working. Not for the lack of effort.
Then you have @bala_leatherman
Probably the most unique background I've been introduced to in this space - he is a real artisan of the Syndicate. Specialized, an expert in his craft, and passes knowledge to all

@FouBeatz That could be another possibility like boxing gloves ect? But something many people don't know is from a skin we don't just make leather we make collagen also. The keratin can be used as a fertiliser or it can have the proteins extracted from it and used for stuff like plasters
@FouBeatz Its a new process during liming stages of leather making where in some of the first process the hair is chemically burned off the hides and sent to effluent thus mean needing treated so with the new developments we are making the hair immunised then filtered from the sytstems
Preservation is key.
Salted material can last up to 6months to a year and we use around 20kg of salt per hide.
Also working on cleaner technologies to eliminate the use of salt.
@Pr1m0mn @valetjones @boredapewood @azurbala Thanks man that goes a long way ! Makes it worth it and if u ever need any leather knowledge you know where the workshop is pop in
@Pr1m0mn @valetjones @boredapewood @azurbala I'm happy to pass knowledge on. Considering it's a trade that is very old alot of people are in the unknown about it
