Beef hide and quivers/and other items made from it
riverrat:
thats a nice arm guard ! Tony
BowEd:
Thanks.I lined the inside of the slotted rawhide arm guard with sheared sheep skin.Nowadays shooting I really don't think I need it any more though.What I like about this thread is your imagination is your only limit.
A few more rawhide items made some time ago.An Arkansas toothpick file knife with a deer leg bone handle with beaded rawhide sheath,a beaded rawhide neck knife sheath and knife,and a bear jaw handled knife with a beaded rawhide sheath.
PS....Rawhide is covered with brain tan glued on to allow it to be beaded.

Nice work Beadman ! Bob
Jodocus:
wonderful stuff, the armguard is excellent! :o
BowEd:
Thanks fellas.Things like these I made during the winter time from February to April.Did a lot of brain tanning during that time too in the basement of the farm home.Had a rendering business there by the edge of town that I knew all who worked there.Traded with those fellas a lot for extra hides especially rode killed deer.Acquiring receipts etc. also to stay out of the hair of the local game warden.
