beaver tail help

(1/1)

ohma2:
have some beaver tails skinned out and scraped, do i use them green for handle wraps or should they be boraxed or salted ,washed with dawn dish soap ? thanks for the help.

Josh B:
I wash em with dish soap and stitch em on wet and green.  Be careful stitching them as they tear out the holes easily.  Josh

ohma2:
thanks Doc thats what i do with fish and snake so i will do with this to.

Danzn Bar:
I've done what Gun Doc has done made rawhide grips.  And yes be very careful to the lacing holes they will tear out very easy.

PEARL DRUMS:
Glueing a narrow strip of leather on the inside along each end helps reinforce the holes.
