A couple of washings do cut the smell WAY down. Then pumice the hide gently (or do at least that if you dont want to wash it). The pumicing will get rid of a lot of the excess resins on the surface of the hide.
Nice hide Mal! its good to "see" you as well...

I'm at Johnny's seeds for a while. Heirloom tomatoes are big. I can get seeds for older packets of seeds with less then the high germination rate that is the standard, and plan on starting an heirloom tomato garden. Anyone else interested?
