Traditional Oak bark tannage

Interesting little slide show on traditional leather tanning at Baker & Co. The company say tanning has taken place at their location since Roman times.

I am receiving a Terry Dear quercus belt in a day or two that is oak bark tanned at Bakers!
It is the last tannery of its kind I read somewhere! Thank you for posting the link!

Cheers Joakim

Bought directly the pre-cut oak bark shoe soles are £11.50 per pair. A bargain given they take a year to tan.
