I can tell you the ancient anglo-saxon method of removing hair from hide. After the excess bits of flesh and fat was removed the hide was soaked and pounded into place over a wooden beam where it was scraped with a special knife. If the hair on the skin was to be removed it was soaked in urine, quicklime or wood ash and was steeped, rubbed and left to soak into the wet surface. This loosened the hair and allowed it to be scraped off with a tool called as "scudder". The hide was then washed to stop the chemicals affecting it further. At this point the the hide is white and very slimy. If removed from the steeping pits the raw hide would begin to dry and shrink. To make the leather soft and pliant it was removed from the liming pits and placed in vats containing a brew of dog dung, chicken/dove droppings which will "fluff" and open the pores in the skin to do bacterial action and neutralizes the lime. This is called "bating the leather." This entire process is time comsuming and smelly.
