Dick, That was Alan's friend Ed from Brevard. I'm getting a  raw hide(deer) from him when he gets around to processing it. You want me to get one for you too. He will be at the Camp-o-Rama in July. He can bring it then. I don't know how much. I think a trade.     Pat
Make the most of all that comes and the least of all that goes!    Pat Brennan  Brevard, NC

phillip, it sounds like you got that idea watching youtube...in my experience, fiber doesn't swell when it loses moisture:  it shrinks.  I have heated bamboo after sanding it flat, and not noticed any convexity...
That was my understanding about shrinkage, did see that on YT, I Did a boo back without treating and it seemed to be fine, It went to some guy in Texas.
