Mike how ya doing. I soaked rawhide for 7 days. Mason jar mineral spirit, chopped pieces coco bola wood with a bit of sawdust and little die. Sawdust gave some Texture to the rawhide. Thanks for info. Bob

Coco bola..here we'd use walnut shells ( you'll maybe find it cheaper ) ..makes a dark dye that in France is called broux de noix ..( you can also use walnut bark ..or leaves from the tree, some other trees will work, but walnut gives the darkest ) here it is sold at about €3.00 per litre, in drugstores /hardware stores.The leaves ( not the nuts or the shells or bark ) are also used to make a "walnut wine".
broux de noix means brew of nuts..and broux* is pronounced just like brew..noix is pronounced to rhyme with "wah" ( like wah wah pedal )..de is like "duh"..as in Homer..
Pretty sure that broux is the origin of brew.
