This is a small goat rawhide. This skin may have some issues such as holes and odd shapes. It is between regular and bleached rawhide.
The goat rawhide is thin and therefore ideal for making smaller hand drums, lamp shades, and craft projects. Some customers do not recommend the small goat rawhide for use in making rattles as it does not hold its shape well.
Goat rawhide is really thin and is better suited for making hand drums. Cow rawhide is thicker than goat rawhide and is more suitable for making drums that use drumsticks.
The goat rawhide comes rolled. Individual pieces are shipped in heavy, cardboard tubes.
Goats are not an endangered species. The skins are a by-product of the food industry. The goats are not killed just for their skins.
