Hello,
It is hunting season and I will be able to get plenty of deerskins. I am wondering if there is any interest in deerskin rawhide for drums? I know that they are not good for congas, but they will work well for bongo, sabar, ewe drums, small native american drums, djembe, bata and more.
Actually, original djembes were made with antelope skin and deerskin is very similar to this.
Anyhow, before I go through all the work to get the skins, clean them and dry them, I thought I would check in here to see how many people are interested.
Pricing wise, I am thinking about $35-$45 a skin with discounts for 10 or more.
If there is no interest, I will just make enough for myself. So, if you want them, let me know!
