Making Rawhide

Wow, thats a man that needs some rawhide no matter what. ;D

Pappy:
I just rack them up and scrape them, It may be a little harder but I can do it when I want to ,not when I have to and also don't have to worry about spoiling the hide.  :) I can rack one in about an hour or less and when it dries and gets tight I can scrape in another hour. Not much of a mess either. :)

bigcountry:
So pappy, you dry scrape with a sharp knife or something?

Pappy:
I have a scrapping tool on a handle.Works great as long as the hide is dry and tight. :)

bigcountry:
Thanks pappy for the picture.

Well, I took it out of the lime sat and started dehairing.  Lots of little hairs left so I put back in the lime.  Got 80% of it off.
