Couple of deer hides done

(1/4) > >>

BowEd:
While waiting for bows I'm making to rehydrate from heat treating I went ahead and took these 2 brained deer hides out from the freezer and roped them soft and then smoked them at the same time.It was a nice day to rope them dry.Took about 2 to 3 hours per hide putting them into a plastic bag in between while taking breaks.
Smoking was done at about 1 hour per side.I use hickory bark for smoking.Smells great afterwards and gives it a nice color too.


Hair and flesh sides.Holes repaired with real sinew.


They'll be good to use this winter making some possible bags.
