On the BHO, Jeff posted this information about his hides:

I have been spending the last couple years learning the art of preparing goat skins and have been using them on my own instruments for the last two years. These skins are purchased from a local goat farmer producing some of the most well cared for goats on the island. The skins are cleaned, stretched and processed by myself and with attention to quality control. Jamaican goats have a darker skin than we are used to seeing on a banjo.. But very consistent in thickness and surface quality. Lots of visual character ranging from dark brown, grey, reddish brown, cream and with lots of variation throughout the surface. If you want to liven up the looks of your banjo while creating a wonderful sounding instrument these skins are for you. If you like a bleached calf or goat skin, these are not for you. I will pick the skins based on your needs and color choices. I will shave them as you require. Please email me with questions. I ship worldwide by post or fed ex.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
