Dry-Scrape Braintan

A Working Manual, 2nd Edition

by Jim Riggs

The classic text on dry-scrape braintanning.
Concise and witty.
Every braintanner should own this book. 

Jim dedicated his life to learning and teaching ancestral skills and inspired countless others to explore how to tan skins, flintknap stone tools, make arrows, twist fibers into string and rub sticks together to make friction fire. We initially learned how to tan from one of his students and a large number of our colleagues can also trace at least one of their lineages of knowledge back to this iconic man.

He was a good friend and mentor who also wrote the foreword to our book Buckskin: The Ancient Art of Braintanning.

Jim passed away in August of 2017 and his daughter Kolle has taken on the challenge of organizing his vast collection into the Jim Riggs Reading Room and Memorial Library.

It will hopefully become a place that people can visit in person, but for now she is sharing digital forms and looking for supporting subscriptions on the Jim Riggs Reading Room on Patreon.
