Deerskin Rawhide

Deerskin Rawhide is a firm natural hide material suited for drum making, lacing, parfleche-style projects, shields, repairs, craft work, and traditional projects that require a strong rawhide surface. It is stiff when dry and becomes more workable when soaked, making it useful for shaping, stretching, tying, and forming into functional or decorative pieces. The hide format gives makers room to cut the sections needed for larger rawhide projects or smaller utility pieces. As with all natural rawhide, each piece may vary in markings, shape, thickness, tone, and usable area.
