George,
You could make ink which is a more common use for galls.
If you want to tan the most information I've seen that might be helpful is at:
http://www.braintan.com/barktan/index.htm
There seems to be nothing on using oak galls, talk to Matt to figure out
how to best get started and then do the experiments that teach how, then
tell the rest of us how it worked out. It may not be much different than
using bark.
John...

Use it up, wear it out, make do, or do without.

Lime-Away or the acid that is its prime ingredient - phosphoric? . . . got
some downstairs in the shop if you need a little. Supposed to soften horns,
but didn't work for me.

I found a pretty old whiskey bottle (four roses)
with contents remaining and I clean it out a little
at a time.

Haaaaa...... The ole whiskey bottles I have git cleaned out a lot at a
time...<G>
Anyway, the vinegar worked pretty good by letting it set overnight, but the
best cleaner so far is "Shower Power" (CLR) as Dick James suggested. The
phosphoric acid remove the mineral stains as advertised (nope, don't got no
stock in the company) if you let it set a bit...
I remain,
Magpie
