Raw, un-tanned bodhran head

My current favorite drum of mine is my Del Eckels, with one of his raw hide drum heads on it. I love the sound I get out of it, but prefer to play a larger diameter, shallower drum, he only offers his drums in 14". Anyone know of a good quality maker that gives the option for a raw head on an 18" x around 3" frame?

A raw head !
Doesn’t it smell ?
And what about the anthrax risk ?

Un tanned - would it not look better with a bit of spray tan, it’s all the rage with the Irish dancers nowadays.
