Members rawhide1 Posted October 28, 2007 Members Report 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
gringobill Posted December 5, 2007 Report 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. Gringo Quote
