Rowhide Looks Good
On Casual Furniture

Because it is good looking.
tough and easy to care for. raw
hide is a good choice for the
craftsman who plans to make
casual furniture, according to a
recent issue of Sunset Maya
zine.
Rawhide is simply the skin of
an animal from which the flesh
has been scraped and the hair
removed; 1t is then allowed to
air-dry. 1t has not undergone
any of the tanning treatments
that would make it into leather.
Like rattan, Gaming and plastic
webbing and rope. rawhide may
be handled in a variety of ways.
the magazine said. The beginner
craftsman should experiment
with thongs or strips before he
graduates to covering large areas
with a single piece of hide.
Craft Shops Have 1t
You can generally buy cow
rawhide from leather craft and
leather supply shops. Although
most tanners sell through dis
tributors only. you may be able
to purchase some rawhide di-
rectly from tannery.
Usually rawhide is sold by the
whole side or the half hide,

desired. Draw an arc above the
original circle.
If using scissors, start cutting
where the arc intersects circle
on the left side. and judge thong
width by eye.
For a natural finish. you may
rub on a mixture of beeswax
(Sold in most drug Stores) and
turpentine. To make the mix
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1955-04-23

ture. put a cake Of beeswax In
a jar and pour in turpentine to
cover it. When the wax is dis
solved, take a soft cloth and
rub the mixture over wood and
rawhide. You may also finish
rawhide with bar varnish or
shellac. but these finishes will
make it shiny.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1955-04-23

And because it contracts as 1t
dries. rawhide chair bottoms,
benches and hammocks have a
flddle-string tautneSs.
Prepare rawhide for cutting
and handling by soaking it in
water from II to "a hours, or
until pliable. Too long a soaking
will weaken it. Partial drying
viii tougher it up again, and any
pieces not used may be COM
pletely dried for later use.
Trial-and-error is the only
way to discover how tight to
draw pieces or strips, but usually
rawhide shrinks about 10 per
cent If not stretched over a
strong frame. This contracting
is one of its valuable qualities.
Narrow strips. from u to q
inch wide. are most economically
cut from a round disk of hide:
cut around and around. from
the outside to the center.
How to Cut 1t
First draw a circle with a COM
pass on the outer (or hide) side
OF the rawhide. Retaining the
same circle radius. move the
pivot point Of the compass up
to make a second center: dis
tance between centers should
equal the width Of the thong
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1955-04-23

rather than by the pound, be-
cause it is difficult to cut when
Try. A side generally weighs about
z to 10 pounds, and you can ex-
pect a pound to equal about 2A
feet. depending upon the weight
and thickness of the rawhide.
The weight of a piece of raw
hide determines the use to which
it should be put. Strips of eight
ounce IA heavy weighD rawhide
are used as stool covers. Even a
heavier weight would be used to
provide the seat for a chair.
Lighter weight material can be
used to make thongs.
Supple When Wet
When wet. rawhide is a supple
material. and wet strips of it
can easily be braided, woven, or
stretched across a frame. After
drying, it is stiff. hard (but not
brittle), and remarkably strong.
