Rawhide

From Wikiciv
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Rawhide is a hide or animal skin that has not been exposed to tanning. It is similar to parchment and much lighter in color than leather made by traditional vegetable tanning. Rawhide is more susceptible to water than leather, and it quickly softens and stretches if left wet unless well waterproofed.
