These rawhides are processed with salt rather than harsher chemicals. The skins are smooth and clean.  Salt treatment preserves the stiffness and strength of the hide.  These are very sturdy with no visible flaws. 
 
Please specify your preferred hide by number (ie: SALT 22) in a message accompanying your order.  I will try to keep the selection updated.  But in the case of multiple requests for an individual hide - it will be sold first-come-first-served. 
 
SOMETIMES translucent areas become more opaque or off-white during mounting and stretching. White areas may develop around the perimiter during stretching too.  The finished appearance may be a little different than what you see in the images.
 
I have additional stock that is not pictured on the website.  Contact me if you are looking for a specific appearance. 
 
The "approximate" thickness is marked on the hides recently added.  The thickness will naturally vary across the hide.  So the number I posted is an average of four readings around the perimeter.  .013 in. - .015in. is my "ideal" thickness for most banjos. Thicker hides can be especially good for large rim (12" +) banjos and to tame any overly bright instrument.
