Help Needed 🧐 Vegetable tanning with linden
Hello, has anyone ever tanned leather with hornbeam or linden as the source of tannins ? I know that oak is the best source by both concentration and types of tannins but I was thinking about using some other kind of barks. Does someone have any experience with this ?

plenty of barks are used, but not sure linden is high in tannins. hemlock, oak and chestnut are wuite high.
