Rawhide scraps

[Phil Cowley Jones]

Hi all
We are drum makers that make our own rawhide from fresh or salted skins
We have about 3 bin bags full of off cuts if anyone is interested ?
You can cut them into strips that are perfect for bindings etc for knife handles or spears
The only cost .....Just the postage .... Rather give it away that throw it away ...
Also so have some full skins that are no use for drum making but can be used for backing bows if anyone is interested.
Cheers
Phil

What is the max width of the possible strips ?
How thick are the skins ?
thanks

I'd also be interested in this potentially, how large are the skins?

Hi, I would be interested in some off cuts, would no way need a whole bin bag full though.
Just enough to get me started into knife making etc.

Hi Phil,

Do you have pieces big enough to try making some knife sheaths? I would be keen to give it a try.

End of next week I will have some larger pieces available as we are running a drum making workshop ...
I will post some pictures ... Most of the stuff I have now in bags are about 4" x 4" max
Dried its about 3-4mm thick
