Title: Elk Raw Hide
Post by: ojibwatbowyer on March 28, 2012, 05:44:04 pm

Is anyone interested some elk raw hide, im moving and I dont have any use for it anymore. Theres enough to make a tonne of glue, backing a bow or bows and other projects. I'd settle for some trade points or whatever you might think its worth. Ill post pics later tonight or sometime this week. One more thing, its comercially tanned I think, bought while passing through a small community last summer. If anyone is interested pm me. Ill take what I can get for her.

No problem. Rawhide is just dried(and sometimes dehaired) and a tanned hide has been chemically preserved.
  How thick is the hide?

Medium thickness i suppose, still kinda thick in the neck area but theres a piece taken out of the neck, so its not to bad. Im sending it to stringman on monday.
