JW_Halverson:
I've got 5 antelope skins stretching and drying right now. Makes the best rawhide backing for bows - thin as paper, stronger than steel. I've always bought the hides finished from a friend, but plan on "slipping" the hair with the hydrated lime.
Good luck with your hide, nothing feels or smells as good as braintan.
El Destructo:
JW.have you ever tried Pickling Lime??? Thats what I use....it's white and it disolves alot better than the Hydrated stuff does....and Hair slips in about 2-3 days...
