Vikti Report post Posted December 29, 2012 Evening folks, In the next few days I will be working with rawhide for the first time. I have a knife that has a relatively smooth steel handle that I wish to wrap up and I was wanting to know how much I need to allow for stretching once the rawhide gets wet as well as how much will it shrink as it drys. The handle is also tapered towards the pommel (or lack thereof) and I was also wanting to know if I could tack the rawhide to the handle to keep it from sliding off or will the contact cement cause the rawhide to wrinkle as it dries? Seeing as I've never done this before I may not be asking questions that I need to ask so volunteered information will be most welcomed. Damon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
