rawhide1 Report post Posted October 28, 2007 Have any of ya guys/gals that make rawhide ever used clippers to remove the hair once the hide is cured. Will this work or does it not clip the hair close enough for smaller strings leaving stubble. Thanks Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gringobill Report post Posted December 5, 2007 Short answer is "yes," but it will only get you part way there. To get a high quality string you're still going to need to scrape the strings. There is a short video on the western folklore website that shows a buckaroo making a twisted riata and he clips the hair off the hide before he cuts his wide strings.
