MDC Buckskin Leather "Deer to Rawhide" Workshop

Learn how to flesh, scrape, stretch, and dry your deer hide to make rawhide. Participants should wear old clothes and bring a rubber apron or heavy trash bag. Fleshing knives will be provided for those who do not have their own. Participants will take home plans for building a simple fleshing beam and frame.

Note: Participants deer must be skinned, and excess flesh must be removed from the hide. Place the hide in a leakproof bag and freeze. Instructions for further preparing the hide will be emailed to participants prior to the start of class. Particpants must also soak, flesh and scrape their hides prior to attending.

Hides must have a valid Conservation ID Number or Telecheck Confirmation Number.
