Reindeer Skin (hide - no fur)

[DFCA]

I would like to make some Saami style coffee and tinder bags but have (for months now) been drawing a blank on finding reindeer hide (preferable naturally tanned).

Can anyone point me in the right direction? If anyone has some around they would like to sell or any of our Scandinavian friends could supply some I would be most grateful.

Hopefully ATB

LePrevo sell Scandinavian hides, but I don't know what critter they used to occupy.

flybowshop.com sell Reindeer hides.

I use LePrevo a fair bit and their stuff is always good - however the hides they had were not quite right.

flybowshop on the other hand PERFECT!!

Many thanks Cromm (well from me anyway - not from SWMBO who will now have to endure my excuses for buying a whole load more stuff for what she classes as "odd" purposes)

Many thanks chaps
