Summary: "The Puering, Bating & Drenching of Skins" by Joseph Turney Wood is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This book meticulously explores the processes involved in leather tanning, particularly focusing on the techniques of puering and bating, which are essential for transforming raw animal hides into soft and supple leather. It serves both as a practical guide for leather tradesmen and a comprehensive reference for those involved in the scientific study of leather manufacturing. The opening of the work presents the author's motivation and background in leather manufacturing, sharing his experiences that led to the compilation of decades of research and notes. Wood discusses the processes related to puering, a method aimed at removing lime from skins post-liming to prepare them for tanning. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the scientific principles behind these operations, including the role of different chemical and bacterial actions involved in bating. The section also hints at the ongoing development of artificial bates and suggests a shift from traditional practices toward more scientifically informed methods, aimed at improving efficiency and quality in leather production.
