- The hide was first put into a pit of lime where the action of the lime softened the hair. It was then taken up and rubbed with a sharp board to remove the hair. It was next put into a pit with the bark of the oak, the hole being known as the "bark hole", and was left there for about nine months to colour. The leather was then hung up to dry and harden.
