A ten year-old manufacturing, distributing, wholesale and import/export company, it processes wet salted, dry salted, wet blue, limed, pickled, and air/frame dried sheep and goat hides and skin.
Liming weakens skins; some djembefolas also claim that limed skins are harder on their hands and do not sound as good as untreated skins.
The djembe has a body (or shell) carved of hardwood and a drumhead made of untreated (not limed) rawhide, most commonly made from goatskin.
Houses are now characterized by massive limed floors, the fireplaces were situated outside.
Modern liming methods, and in particular, the processing of sheepskins the hair is removed first and then limed in a liming drum.
On acid soils it is estimated that it can amount to as much as £20 per acre loss of production if the soil is not properly limed.
The result is that those lands that used to be limed have practically gone out of cultivation altogether.
It is regrettable that not all the acres of this country have yet been limed and broken in.
