Making Rawhide From Deerskin. Can't recall the name of the book now but if you search for dene babiche you'd find the book. Our large, lightweight, 2 oz deerskin rawhide leather skin is ideal for lace, lamp shades, drum head covers, buck skinning, black powder accessories, indian lore, jewelry, and other diy leather craft projects.
Fold the rawhide in half and trim to the shape of your blade (a). May use the same skin only cut narrower and see what happens. And of course dogs love it.
