Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
Are they cured or has he just taken them from a sheep? I have to admit to not having a clue as to the going rate.
you can pick up a ready cured and silicone backed sheep skin from anything between £20 & £60 (What I have come across anyway!) depending on the size, thickness and condition.
I hope this is of use.

not sure about if theyve been cured they aint straight off the sheep cos they look real nice and white
Depends on:
Size
Sheep breed,
Quality.
Skye Skins sells some lovely sheep skins but at a price! I think £30ish is their cheapest upto £75 for Jacobs and Icelandic, which are, I admit impressive. They'll also stitch as many as 12 together so if you want a small tipi covering, ala; Plains Indians in sheepskin check it out, but again cost is prohibitive.
If cheap and uncured I gather they are fairly simple to cure if somewhat time consuming. I'd be interested to know a few more details!

Got second hand at a car boot for £30 - but then I also managed to get 3 reindeer hides for £100 a while back...lucky me!
£45 folks but then ill have too add postage on top of that id have to weight one to find out a postal price but i figure theyre quite heavy so around £10 at a rough guess.just spoke to one of the lads who works for the butcher may get a small discount for bulk buying but it would nt be that much cos they dont make much money on them anyway.they also sell em in different colours ,dyed but i dont know if they would run if used outside in the rain
