What is rawhide leather?

Rawhide Leather Skins

Rawhide is not really leather. It is formed by placing thin pieces of animal skin within lime and drying it. The resulting fabric is quite hard, and can be used to make the tops of drums. The lime will remove the animal hair from the skin, and does not “tan” the hide as with other methods.
