rawhide
Untreated animal leather
Rawhide is untanned animal skin, typically from cattle—stiff, durable, and pale.
It's used for drum heads, dog chews, laces, and whips.
A rawhide whip may itself be called a rawhide: He cracked the rawhide over the horses' heads.
The material softens when wet and hardens as it dries.
