In much the same way that cement is kept moist in the turning drum, the hides are washed in a solution of water and Li which kill the bacteria as well as restore the chemicals moisture and clean the hides. This cleaning process takes about two days, according to tannery manager Frank manager Frank Holley. The hides are then put through a machine called a "slusher" or defatting machine which removes the fat from the skin. Regardless of the amount of "slushing" Mr. Holley says all of the fatty tissue may not be removed. If not, the product may be "sanded" to obtain a beautiful sueded effect that feels "just like veivet."

Then the hides go through the drying process. Normally this stage takes about an hour and a half. The leather is then placed in the drying room for 24 to 60 hours depending on the weather. The leather is then run through a staker which flattens it and takes out all the wrinkles. Mr. Neff says that deer hide has a tendency to shrink and is very wrinkled before the staking process. The hides then go into a tumble without heat where they are softened. The finished product is then trimmed and measured before selling. The trimmer gives the exact amount of square footage per piece. The customer is charged by the square footage of his finished hide. One final stage is optional. If the leather is rough on the back, it can be sanded. However, Mr. Holley indicated most customers don't have their hides sanded.
