Craft Grade Bark Tanned Rattus Rattus Pelt

Bark tanned non native rat hides. Craft grade because I am practicing skinning. These hides do have whiskers but they're not neat as these are hides I learn on.
As my skinning gets better my price for these will rise but if you're looking for something to craft with these little pelts will be great.
They're small so approximately 12x6cm. 
Bark tanning is a traditional tanning method. Once the hides have been converted to leather the process is irreversible. 
This process cannot be undone with washing therefore these are water resistant but it's always best to keep hides dry to avoid mould and mildew. 
Traditional bark tanned hides are stiffer than chrome tanned hides.
The leather won't be white it's brown as this is the part that absorbs all the tannins.
