Digital Caveman:
So it got a little side tracked, I've been working on it whenever I get a chance.
I have fleshed it and grained all but the neck. I have half a mind to just cut the neck area off because I know it will give me a lot of trouble softening as well.
It looks like there will be enough for one quiver (taken from the center of the back) and a lot of smaller things like gloves, bags, etc.
gutpile:
you can use the stiff neck for bottom of quiver.. I use them for bottom of quivers and moccasins. bottoms..gut
Digital Caveman:
Ok, I may well do that, but I'll probably leave it as rawhide. It must be around 1/4" thick, I can't believe it!
gutpile:
brain it too.. it will soften up some.. but still be stiffer than the rest of the hide, if you didnt thin it any.. mine got soft but still have a body to them.. gut
Digital Caveman:
I'll see what I can do, the neck is the only part where the hair didn't slide, and it is just plain painful to grain and membrane, I'm afraid I wouldn't do a great job there anyway. We'll see.
