Got a Zebu hide fleshed and dehaired over the weekend. Then got it framed up, and scudded this morning! I'm sure it'll change a lot today, these thin hides dry fast! Have a blessed week!

All of the braiding time has been spent making hides this spring. But, we collaborated with our talented friend, up and coming silversmith Stay Salty Silver to finish out a bolo tie for a family wedding! Honored to be a part of it!

The changes made over a few days, as this hide dried out in the frame.

After dehairing a Hereford bull hide, I stretched it on a stall front as it was too big for any of my frames, and I still had to cut it down to stretch it This clip is of the scudding process, after about 5x of scudding, rinsing and repeating it was ready to be sprayed with vinegar one last time and left to dry.

These hides turned out better than I could have expected. Just learned something new. These hides were dry, and was going to cut them out of the frame tonight after work. It's been foggy, and dreary all night so this morning I checked them and they were pretty much tempered to cut up into string.
