We now have legal access to dehaired rawhides of Antelope, Deer, Elk, Buffalo (American bison), Horse, and an occasional Moose. We don't keep these in stock as we haven't had a lot of requests, but we do have immediate access to them. The prices vary widely as each hide or skin is graded and priced individually for size and quality, so you will have to tell us what you want and we'll do the shopping. Prices can run from $150 for an Antelope skin to $500 for a large Buffalo hide. Here are some guidelines that may help: Antleope skins are small, thin, and elastic. Deer is similar to an extra thick goatskin and is somewhat more elastic. Elk is similar to thin cowhide. Buffalo is like thick cowhide and can get very thick indeed in the area of the shoulders and hump (up to 1/2"). I have not worked with the Horse or Moose hides and cannot make recommendations on them yet.
Cowhides not only make great areas rugs, but are often sold to interior decorators and furniture manufacturers for upholstering, pillows and wall hangings.
Natural Hair-on Exotic Goat skin Hides.
The skins we are offering are whole, sun dried, untreated, fully haired goatskins imported from Senegal. They have been selected for their quality. These rawhide, haired goatskins are washed and dusted for insects without using harmful chemicals so that you receive skins which are bug free.
