There's a company in Owattona,Minnesota called Uber glove company.They'll make practically anything you want from your deer or elk hides.I liked their one fingered mittens.

That's my 4 winds design on the box I developded back in the 80's.My beadwork has the same design too.I once gave an artist major/buckskinner a large piece of beef rawhide.He in turn drew and painted this eye popping beautiful design of a full width badger wrapped all the way around the box.The box was 1.5' wide,1' deep and 6" tall.Wish I had a pic of it.It was something else.

Thanks Tony but if I remember right your always investigating different things too.Cool.Correction......That rawhide box of my friend was 18" wide,12"deep,and 6" tall.It was a beaut.Been at this primitive natural material stuff a long time and dig it when someone else is into it too.Made a number of different things too out of rawhide but mostly try to make things that have a purpose and can be used.

I shoulda paid more attention to the quivers everyone was using when we were out shootin' last weekend!
... alone in distant woods or fields, in unpretending sproutlands or pastures tracked by rabbits, even in a bleak and, to most, cheerless day .... .  I suppose that this value, in my case, is equivalent to what others get by churchgoing & prayer.  Hank Thoreau, 1857

Some more...An arm guard[rawhide & lace up braintan] and glove[brain tan] combo.Hand goes through the rawhide then thumb and index finger go through the brain tan.It's about 6 years old by now.

Thanks.I lined the inside of the slotted rawhide arm guard with sheared sheep skin.Nowadays shooting I really don't think I need it any more though.What I like about this thread is your imagination is your only limit.
A few more rawhide items made some time ago.An Arkansas toothpick file knife with a deer leg bone handle with beaded rawhide sheath,a beaded rawhide neck knife sheath and knife,and a bear jaw handled knife with a beaded rawhide sheath.
PS....Rawhide is covered with brain tan glued on to allow it to be beaded.

Thanks fellas.Things like these I made during the winter time from February to April.Did a lot of brain tanning during that time too in the basement of the farm home.Had a rendering business there by the edge of town that I knew all who worked there.Traded with those fellas a lot for extra hides especially rode killed deer.Acquiring receipts etc. also to stay out of the hair of the local game warden.
