Tanning Beaver Tails

<< < (2/3) > >>

Pappy:
I have one in the freezer,so what you guys are saying is I can just skin it/scrap it clean and put it on like a green snake skin.I wanted to use it on a grip. :) About how much should you allow for shrinkage ?  :)

predatorcaller:
yeah pappy it should be fine green there really no fleshing that has to be done on the tail except for a bit and im not real sure what to allow for shrinkage maybe none as long as the tails put on wet

Ryano:
Pappy if you stitch it up tight it'll be fine. I use titebond 3 glue to hold it in place and wrap it with twine while it drys so it conforms to the contours of the handle.

Boy, that sure does look neat as a grip on that bow! Here is a pic of some beaver tails I have been working with recently. I hope the copy and paste works. I just joined here and at shutterfly.com and am unfamiliar with it all, thx.
