Hello, archers.
this is my new work with stingray skin,
if anyone want to make something with stingray leather..
it can be help...

*dyeing and sanding (1~5)
soak the skin in the water 2 hours,
dyeing takes at least 12 hours(using ziploc bag)
and drying it 12 hours, soak it in the water again 6hours.. and sanding!

Then this is not leather (preserved) but raw hide. (Unpreserved skin) ???

supplier told me it's raw hide,
it looks just dried after skinning with salt..
and it had some flesh at the first time.
