Hole in the head
I've been waiting for some nice American White and a slunk calfhide head for about a month now & they finally got here this week.
I tucked the calfhide slunk on the snare and everything went great.
But, upon inspection I noticed small hole in the head.
No biggie though.....I'll just get another - but I'm puzzelled to how it got there. I did not have any sharp instruments near the hide while tucking. My tucking instrument is a dull spoon handle and I would have no reason to be anywhere near the cut with my spoon or anything else.
Has anyone here received a calfhide head with a similar hole?
Can a hole like this be done in the preperation process at the factory?
