- This is the best way to cut rawhide strips from leather for many uses including lashing snowshoes, sewing bass bark pack packs up, and so many more. Brian made a special rawhide cutting tool out of a deer tine.

Thanks for watching, friends! To see moose rawhide strips used, watch this video on how to make a bass bark back pack. (I use the rawhide thong to stitch the back pack together) : ua-cam.com/video/5xXXZBR8Gj8/v-deo.html
That's a great little device. Works slick!
Thank you very much, it saves me a lot of time and cramps.😁
that is so cool, very smart to start from the inside too
Thank you Collin, so happy to have you on board. We appreciate your support.
That was great info I've been doing this the wrong way for years.
Hey Russell, so happy to have you on board with us!
I've got to make me one of those 👌 thanks for the great tips Brian ☺️
Hey Dave, yes everyone should have one of those 😉! Eric L. Says it is also good at stripping Kangaroo hide for projects! He must be a neighbor of yours.👍🏼😁
@@StockmanOriginal 😉🤣🤣🤣
How can I make one or buy one please
Incredible, Leather work has always fascinated me. You have wonderful skill.
Roger, thanks so much for watching our videos, we really appreciate it.
always something cool to learn on Brian's Stockman's channel👍 very cool to watch🙂
Thanks Janson, l’m giving up all my tricks!😉
Thanks for your channel. Very inspiring! KANSAS
Hello Jack, you are welcome.But we thank you for watching , it means everything!
also good for cutting kangaroo lace for leather work,
Hey Eric, thanks for the tip. I just passed that along to Dave Delaney, a fellow fella from down unda. Do you know if kangaroo sinew is as good as l think it must be?
@@StockmanOriginal I don't know about sinew, the hide is very strong for weight and makes fantastic lace.

@@StockmanOriginalI’ve used a similar technique for cutting Kangaroo veg tan into strips for making bolo cord (as well as using some I imported from an Aussie gent to repair a bag for a harpist’s spare strings). It’s wonderful stuff, as far as I know it’s far was the best leather for lacing and thonging. It’s beautifully malleable and soft whilst being incredibly strong, much more so than cow leather for the thickness of material. As finished veg tan, a piece that would be so thin in cow leather as to make it frustration inducing cuss festival is an absolute pleasure to cut in Kangaroo leather.
One extra thought. When I cut cow or calf to make thonging, using veg tan I wet the leather after cutting, throw it over a hook on a tree branch and tie a 2lb kitchen weight or hammer head to the bottom. This stretches 5he wet moldable veg tan and gives me straight thonging, rather than spirals I’ve originally cut.
Love your work and style!
Clever!
Thanks buddy
Good morning!! love watching your channel 😊
Thank you, we’re so happy you do!
i loce the way you make the tools insted of buying them, i do the same always i can
Thanks Garou,it’s usually the best way to get what you need!
@@StockmanOriginal indeed!
@@StockmanOriginaland to use up some of the little scraps of materials you hold onto but would otherwise never find a use for. At least for me in my workshop
what kind of blade - did you lash on? Did you make it or take it from another tool and did you have to get it very sharp?
thanks!
Hello Steven, thank you for checking us out. Yes, I made the blade from some tool steel that I had and yeah, you want it as sharp as possible. It’s an awesome tool and best used in the winter when it’s very cold out.
Sir do you have a video of you making the “device” you used to cut the raw hide?
Hello Hailey, thank you for checking us out! Unfortunately we don’t have such a video yet but will try to get some footage of that soon.
I need one of those. What's a good choice for the blade?
Hello Timothy, thank you for tuning into our channel. The blade for that little cutter was made from an old jeweler’s file. I use dremel’s cutoff wheels, which will cut almost anything, to cut and shape the blade. It works really well in the winter when the rawhide stays frozen. Let me know how you make out with it.
@@StockmanOriginal thanks, i will. I've got about three cowhides/rawhide to process. much will be for straps but Iwant to make a couple miles of thongs for snowshoes. Packs can be seen onmy channel and my dog attacking the birch tree is on there as well.
