Re: How do you soften rawhide? #1 November 25, 2009, 04:41:53 PM How soft? Intelligent buttox answer-Tan It. in reality, I would say it will never be leather soft, but the more it is worked, the more flexible it becomes. I made a Native american quirt, My post on it should be a few pages back. To get the whip portion of the quirt flexible, I smacked the post in my garage repeatedly for days, it is a very bad post! the whip portions are more flexible than before, but still stiff. The post is due for more punishment. Also, rub a little neatsfoot oil in.

Re: How do you soften rawhide? #3 November 25, 2009, 05:19:22 PM Ned, I coated some rawhide real heavy with Lexoil conditioner, and it's stayed soft for a couple years now, I can't tell you how long it will last, but so far so good, I use Lexoil on most everything I make as a first step after dyeing, Hope this helps.
