free rawhide
« on: January 02, 2013, 05:37:00 PM »
we get a lot of deer up here- we are allowd 15 per year- over a 9 month season.
they are a smaller sitka blacktail, anyway my point is, i just hate throwing away perfectly good hides, i feel like i am being disrespectful.
i have mare rawhide than i could ever use.

so if anybody wants rawhide, i will de-hair , stretch and dry them. the skins are quite clean, as i punch out my hides when skinning, the way i prep them is to sand the flesh side with coarse sandpaper when they are dry- takes any membranes off, and gets a good glue surface.
when they are dry, if you pay shipping, i will send them to you. being smaller deer, the hides are nice and thin- perfect backing material.

I will take them, if no one has spoken for them.
It's very nice to offer them sir.

Thanks Tony

great guys, i have three fresh ones here from the other day, i will process them up, and get shipping weights when they are dry- all i would want is for the postage to be covered.

i can get lotsa hides- and i dont mind doing them up for bow makin' fools.  :jumper:  
will keep you guys posted, and work out the details as they are ready to ship.
regards

i will gather up some more skins tomorrow, chat to a few friends of mine.
so they might become available in fits and starts- just be patient, and i will get as many done as possible.

Mr. Fujimo,

Hello, what a kind offer, thanks from all of us here.

If you have any rawhide left to spare, as I relize I am pretty low on the list, I would like some as well. Like Osagetree, I just would like enough to do a few bows.

If you have any to spare please let me know, if not, feel free to say so, I understand.

Thanks either way,

Kevin

no problem guys, i got a far greater response than i expected. this makes me really happy- as a lot of skins are wasted here. so i will keep processing them( i do like doing it- just cant use all that i process)and contacting you good folk as they become available, and sending them out. i will follow the list down- but there will be lots of skins
thanks

Same hear fujimo.  If you have some extra, let me know.
