FULL RAWHIDE:
Whole raw horse skin. Natural color. Hairless.
Top quality raw material for your crafts. Very fine and tear resistant material.
Horse rawhide is as thick as, or slightly thicker than buffalo rawhide.
APPLICATIONS:
Widely used for the production of all types of crafts and decoration products due to its exceptional strength characteristics. Ideal for large drum heads, covering saddle and pack trees, extraction of strips for ropes or braids, shields, sword covers, seats for rustic furniture and more.
APPROXIMATE MEASUREMENTS:
Width: 70 inches (177 cm)
Length: 68 inches (200 cm)
Thickness: 1-2 millimeters, 5-6 ounces
Actual dimensions may vary a few inches from hide to hide. Some hides may have small scars or scrapes. These reflect the spirit of the animal, and are the characteristics that will make your product unique.
Dry rawhide is very rigid because it is the skin with the hair removed that has been cured, but not tanned. Rawhide will feel stiff when dried, but will soften if you soak it in water.
When soaked in water it becomes pliable, allowing it to be molded or shaped and easily sewn. During the drying process, rawhide shrinks, stiffens and generally retains whatever shape it was given when wet.
If you soak more than you need, you can let it dry out again and reuse it later, but the color will get darker with each sucessive soaking.
When wet, it should be used within 24 hours, or at least change the water every 12 – 24 hours. If you leave it in water too long, it will begin to grow bacteria, which weakens the skin and makes it turn smelly. It is good for large pow wow drums, parfleche bags, and storage boxes.
The rawhide shown is for demonstrative purposes and may not be the actual hide you receive. It is common for most horse rawhides to have some scrapes, scars, holes or brands. 5 – 6oz.
Rawhide can be further tanned into leather using traditional brain tan and smoke methods or commercial preservatives, or used as is.
