Bear Rawhide Needed - Please Help!!!

[Stormsong]

Please Help!
There is a workshop coming up and I am looking for bear rawhide for it. The supplier I ordered from originally said they would have more for me in time, but now they are saying they won't be able to get any more period. I've already advertised and am scrambling to make sure I have the rawhide in time for my upcoming workshop.
I'm looking for 3-4 more depending on the size and quality, the thicker and greasier the better. I will pay for shipping from anywhere within Canada, but I need it by February 23.
If you have some you're willing to sell, or know where I can buy/find some, please contact me asap. Thank you!!!

Does it have to be a bear ? What kind of workshop ?

[calgarychef]

Well you've got my interest piqued....

[Stormsong]

Yes, it must be bear, black or grizzly. I already have deer, elk, moose, buffalo, reindeer and goat. Bear rawhide is hard to find. :/

By raw hide, you mean an untanned hide, or braiding/drum rawhide?? 2 very different things...

Rawhide being the untanned, hard, scraped defleshed/no hair, also called rawhide bends or sheets. They are for drum making.

Does bear make the best drums? I've heard that horse makes great drums, might be easier to get horse hide than beat hide. Once you've go a he'd all it is is elbow grease to make rawhide.

I got a fresh horse hide that you can have... I dont 'know if you want that...

[Stormsong]

We haven't worked with horse yet but are planning to this summer. Thank you for the offer. Please PM me if you have more in May/June that you want to get rid of. Thanx again.
