Hey Everyone! Anyone know where I can find the round metal spots with the two prongs on them? I found brass and nickel spots but I REALLY want copper. These are going to be used to adorn rawhide knife sheaths. I'd appreciate any information. Pat

Thanks Guys! I appreciate the help. I believe that I will experiment a little using both suggestions. There is a taxidermist that will throw the hides in a big tumbler to soften after dyeing. Wasn't too sure how to go about this. Those hides were from deer I shot so I got a lot invested in them not to mention the cost of the tanning.

I have got 4 bucskins that were tanned at W.B. Place in Hartford, Wisconsin professionally. Question #1 is how can I get them all the beautiful smoke color? Question #2 is how do I get the fold creases out of the hides? I'v had these squirreled away for a few years and now I'd like to make a frontier type vest or shirt. They are almost white right now but I can't get a straight answer from anyone as to how to color these. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Pat Burns Arcadia Knives
