Have you had the opportunity
to work/use buffalo? ???
Thanks,Zuma

BowEd:
Yes I have.Brain tanned a couple too and made rawhide out of one other.Parafleches etc.The rawhide of a buffalo is a little different than a beef.Coarser.The smaller you go with ungulates the finer and tighter the fibers of the rawhide are.Moose...Buffalo...elk....deer etc.

BowEd:
Now horse is nice too.Not quite as thick as beef,about like elk but not as coarse.
