Members arcrue Posted November 15, 2019 Members Report Posted November 15, 2019 (edited) Hello, I bought a deer hide. When I was at tannery I was impressed and I had few ideas what to do with that. Now, I'm struggling and I have no project in my mind. What do you from deer hide? I'm thinking about the bullet hole in the hide. It is creepy to use it as some detail in a project, isn't it?

Lobo Posted November 15, 2019 Report Posted November 15, 2019 The usefulness of deer hide will depend on the tanning method(s) used. Most deer hide is relatively thin, typically soft and pliable. Best uses I can think of would be clothing or small personal items (handbags, pouches, or similar). Personally, I would avoid showing the bullet hole in the hide in a finished product.

Members TomWisc Posted December 10, 2019 Members Report Posted December 10, 2019 I am making some men's slipppers for me and my adult sons. I will be using deer hide as a liner on the inside of the slippers. Quote
Members DrmCa Posted December 10, 2019 Members Report Posted December 10, 2019 Liner might stretch and create wrinkles, which would rub you sores.
