primitivepaulette:
You're really a talented guy Beadman. Great thing about cowhide is that it it same thickness, great for lariat, not that I have one to show!

BowEd:
Thanks primitivepaulette.....Wish my ex thought that.......LOL.Anyway,yep lariats,whips,handle braids etc.I think they like to use kangaroo rawhide for whips.Snowshoe bindings.Tough as nails.If a person gets a braiding how to book the projects are endless it seems.

richardzane:
nice rawhide boxes Beadman,
and I like the suggestion of using rawhide as nock inserts! makes a lot of sense as it'd be relatively consistent in thickness.

hatcha:
If the rawhide gets wet, does it turn soggy and slippery again?

BowEd:
I'll reply to that question with Pappys' motto...If you have to ask you would'nt understand.There are excellent ways of water proofing natural materials to be useful in not too extreme situations.
