Etymology[edit]

raw +‎ stock

Noun[edit]

rawstock (countable and uncountable, plural rawstocks)

  1. Hides or skins that have been preserved to be tanned later.
    • 1991, Employment and Working Conditions and Competitiveness in the Leather and Footwear Industry, Geneva: International Labour Office:
      These fluctuations result from the interaction between the supply of hides and skins and the demand for the leather that is tanned from the rawstock.
    • 2009, A. M. Pearson, T. R. Dutson, Inedible Meat by-Products, page 356:
      A plump rawstock is necessary because thickness reduction from high-pressure embossing exceeds the plumping effects of vegetable tanning. Native steer or branded steer hides are appropriate rawstock.
