tboyce58 Report post Posted November 14, 2013 When I was a kid I used a solution of alum. It seemed to really help take the hair off. You obviously know more than me about this so I'm wondering why you didn't use it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stowkeve Report post Posted August 18, 2014 What are the steps that one goes through once the rawhide is cut and dried into a strand? I bought a 100 feet of 1/4 inch wide rawhide. Do I need to soak it in water first to soften it and then what about all the soaps and tallow and stuff like that? i want to start braiding with it to make a rawhide honda for my rope.
