She Turns Deer Hides Into Drums 32-5-9 Doris Issendorf of Henning, Minn., makes drums out of deer and other big game hides. They make unique keepsakes for hunters to remember a successful hunt.
Issendorf starts the process with a carefully skinned hide, soaking and scraping the hair off and then washing the hide out in vinegar water, before drying it. An average-sized hide will make two 15-in. drums.
She mounts them on round or octagon frames, using laces she cuts from the hide.
She can personalize a drum by painting it with acrylic or powder paint, or woodburn the name of the hunter and year on the frame.
Prices start at $125 for deer hide drums.
