Members ComputerDoctor Posted December 1, 2018 Members Report Posted December 1, 2018 I have been wondering about the workings of Hides with the hair still attached???????? I wonder if it 'cuts' the same etc and what are the difficulties with using it? Does the hair fall off quickly or eventually? I want to use it as 'inserts,' on other things I produce. What do you Folk's use it for? Thanks! Sam:) Quote
Rockoboy Posted December 1, 2018 Report Posted December 1, 2018 I have used 'hair on hide' for a couple of projects, and I found that it cut exactly the same for size, but I did some judicious trimming of the hair along some of the edges. I have read somewhere, no idea where, the tanning process effectively locks in the hair. The only issue with hair can be in a high wear n tear area the hair can become thinned out as the hairs break off. I found this with a cow hide floor rug, but only in one spot where my dog liked to chew it. Quote
Members ScoobyNewbie Posted December 2, 2018 Members Report Posted December 2, 2018 (edited) Tandy is selling full sized hair on hides right now for 139$. And some of the stamps for 2.99$ each! get ‘me while they’re hot! i think that the calf skins might be better for an inlay. Shorter fur. sorry, just was excited.
