Paper thin. Completely useless for any drum that requires any sort of tension. Probably fine for decorative purposes.

pretty disappointed, rawhide was weak and broken once laced up. called the store to ask for more info, maybe i didn’t handle it correctly.. was told “no one handles rawhide here so we don’t know” pretty disappointing experience and definitely a last

Hey Jackson! I’m sorry to hear the rawhide lace wasn’t to your liking. Rawhide can be tricky to work with, but first of all you need to have good quality product, and if your rawhide lace is easily tearing, you may have a bad spool we need to replace (which we’d be happy to do!). Secondly, the rawhide lace needs to be thoroughly cased, or soaked with water, before you start bending and tightening it. Lastly, once the lace is taught, you have to make sure it isn’t too tight, which is something that comes with experience like so many other things in leather craft. If you have questions or need to start a return, please email or call us.
