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?

Tan her up and make some moccasins. ' Frank

I was actually wanting to do something with it as rawhide
-
Small drum heads? Knife sheaths? Quiver? Drum heads and a rawhide bowstring?
-
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. :)
