Rawhide is stiffer and more brittle than other forms of leather, and is primarily found in uses such as drum heads or western furniture where it does not need to flex significantly. It is also cut up into strips for use in lacing or stitching, or for making many varieties of dog chews or bones.
Rawhide was practiced to form par fleches (envelope-like containers), moccasin soles and ropes. Rawhide is what you usually encounter with Native American drums, par fleches, and more. Rawhide constitutes an animal pelt which gets dried out through salting. Rawhide represents everything from article of clothing and personal items to construction materials, piece of furniture, and tools.
