Make raw hide for ropes, bow stings, quivers, parfleche bags, etc

This is really interesting. I learned something this evening and I deer hunt too. I can't wait to see how the bow strings are made.

[@TheTribeOfBenjamin]

Good stuff! Are we going to see one of these strings on the stone-age bow :)?

@danmo43 temperature matters here in regards on how long it takes for the hair to fall off in the solution of lime

[@gotrocksinhead]

cool!

[@Laughter116]

Good to know, thanks!

[@LivingHistorySchool]

it decomposes you can put it on the soil

[@LivingHistorySchool]

yes after lime solution

[@LivingHistorySchool]

@syderty that works too

[@danmo43]

So from watching this video that temperature only makes a difference when you are trying to retain the fur or hair, but it's not that critical when you are making leather. Is that right?

[@IHateScottSoMuch]

mice felching job!

[@wizdumb420]

Has just hide just been sitting around since fall or was it preserved in some way?

[@Laughter116]

And what do you do with the hair-filled lime solution after you were finished?

[@syderty]

Dont you use sinew from the deer to make bow string ?

[@NicholasKelley111]

did you have to scrape any hair off?

[@wizdumb420]
