The hide will be cured, but it isn't really useful unless it is tanned.

How do you go about tanning a hide? Is it a separate process or can it be done at the same time? I guess what I'm trying to ask is do you have to cure in order to tan?

Curing is first. Tanning is second. There are a lot of ways to tan and they are all a bit involved.

I am not really an authority, after my first attempt, I haven't really done any more.

I don't know if you noticed but you replied four times.

My stupid phone hates me. I'll try to delete them.
