flerg777 Report post Posted December 12, 2016 Does anybody else line or pad with deerskin? I've been padding rifle slings with it. I'm wondering if anybody has any problems with it, in particular. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billybopp Report post Posted December 12, 2016 I use flesh side out deer on the back of my guitar straps. It's really soft, gives a wonderful feel, and a some friction to keep the strap from sliding. It does have a few quirks, in that you have to be pretty careful to get it to glue smoothly .. every little lump and bump can show through. Its too soft to edge with even a sharp beveler, so I use a sharp hobby knife to bevel it. It burnishes .. Sort of .. using a burnishing cream by craft-sha. I use white deer skin, and it discolors very easily when burnishing, so make sure that your burnisher is very very clean, and be careful not to turn it around while using since it will pick up dye from the front side during use.
