Hides- added pics
Dan K:
Pics of what you have would be nice. What trade items are you looking for?
Thesquirrelslinger:
If you have scrap or small pieces you don't want or something Ill trade steel points for them.

Sorry guys. I have been so busy at work getting ready to go out of town for the Classic, I haven't had time to take pics. I will try to get some up tomorrow.

I finally got some time to take some pics of the hides. Pardon my picture taking skills. They are spread out on a steel patio table. The first two pics are the same hides from different angles and the next 2 pics are a different batch of hides from different angles. The last pic is what the back of the hides looks like. I don't know much about tanning, but they seem to be at least partially tanned. They are slightly stiff, but the taxidermist said if you wet them a little they will be very soft for shaping. They are not as stiff as rawhide, though and some are softer than others. The only one I know for sure what it is is the wildabeast which has a "mane". I did not take pics of a couple of pieces of what appears to be hog hides with long stringy hair...kinda ugly if you ask me although the leather and hair could be usable for some of you, though. As far as trades go, I kinda want to try some cane arrows and maybe some flint points or a good stave. Here are the pics.

Ive got some cane, from a trade that didn't work out.
Its in 32 inch or longer pieces. Its about 3/8 inch diameter for the most part. Works good, I usually make my arrows from it or willow.
You see those top 2 that are gray? I think that would be my pic. How big are they?
