my weekend project

[mcginnis6010]

Here is half of a deer hide given to me by a buddy although it wasnt taken care of before it got to me I figured I would try to make something with it. I scraped and dehaired it then have it stretching. Any ideas?

I was actually wanting to do something with it as rawhide

[madcrow]

Small drum heads? Knife sheaths?  Quiver?  Drum heads and a rawhide bowstring?

[Pappy]

Not sure from here ,looks pretty rough,I would sand it with some 60/80 grit and see how it turns out,that will clean it up,looks moldy. Then you can use it to back a bow or any other project you would like. Raw hide is great stuff and very useful.

yea like I said it was taken care of before it got to me but if I can use it I won't waste it.

I was thinking maybe some sheaths and and a first attempt at a drum.

Don't blame you their,it's hard to ruin rawhide,I have had some that looked like that  I left the on the rack to long and the got rained on several time and they work just fine with a little clean up.
