Could be; I'm not a chemist. However, I suspect that you, as a woodworker, are acquainted with hide glue. This is, in fact, made from animal hides. I made some myself, from some of the scrapings of the inside of a deer hide that I prepared and tanned myself. It was an interesting process, and I wound up with a small amount of glue that I experimented with with fair to good results.
