Whitetail Rawhide
« on: April 08, 2015, 09:21:53 pm »
Spent my Easter break working up 3 hides from last season.  First one is dried and finished.  The other two are ready to stretch and dry over the next couple of days.  First is a yearling - 40" in length (white tape) and 22" in width at the metal straight edge.  The other two are a nice sized doe and a 2 1/2 year old buck.  Will post pics of the second two after they are dried.  Looking for some wooden arrows around 29" that would work out of a 50# bow with 150 grain heads.  Anyone interested?  Thanks,  Mitch.

Enjoy the hunt!  Mitch

I would be interested, here's some arrows that I made for 'steve b.' in December, I have never been able to post pictures in a private message so I posted them here.

Thanks,
Aaron

That would be a good deal both ways. That is some very clean and nice rawhide. And those are nice looking arrows A-a-ron.
Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.

PM sent to you Aaron.

Thanks for the comments Pearl & Bubby.  I absolutely hate wasting the hides from the deer I shoot!

Mitch, you did a nice clean job on the rawhide. I don't live far from you and can probably work something out on arrows. I'm interested in one of the other two.
I found many years ago that it is much easier and more rewarding working with those that don't know anything than those that know it all.
