Beaver Tail Pouch

<< < (4/4)

BowEd:
Vegetable or bark taning will fix that stiffness of your rawhide beaver tail.That does take a few weeks to do though.The floral pattern's ride in stride with what would be done many years ago.The way you did it I would of contact cemented some brain tan on the inside of the beaver tail to make it more durable.Looks nice though.

Thanks Beadman. I think I will give that a try next time. I have a LOT of quebracho bark extract.. hate what that did to my fleshed and grained deerskins and hockskins.. the color was like purple! might work great on skins with grain or beavers tails for sure! I like the idea of backing the skins with some deerskin too.. definately a good idea. Guy that got it from me put some bear grease on the tail and the leather :-). This was my final picture of it.  :)
