eglideride Report post Posted June 26, 2013 I have a couple of rawhide mallets that are at least 25 years old. I picked up my tools again after a long (oh, 10 years or so) break. I have been noticing some small "particles" of rawhide landing on my work while tooling. What is the proper care for old(er) rawhide- or is this just normal?? Thanks!
