cow rawhide equipment

BowEd:
I've been making different quivers out of rawhide lately.Back pocket quiver,hip quiver,and a cat quiver.All from just a small part of a cow rawhide.Lightweight & durable.About an 1/8" thick when dry.
Just stretch the rawhide in a frame,Flesh it [or flesh it on a beam then lace it into a frame]Let it dry.Dry scrape it to dehair it.Unlace it or cut it out of frame.Maybe spray it down with some kind of bug killer.I've used off before and it worked fine.Make things out of it at your liesure.

Also small square pieces of rawhide at least 1/16th" thick can be used as inserts in the nock ends of your arrow shafts to keep them from splitting.Imagination can find a lot more uses of this good stuff too.Bindings etc. too.
