When warm weather gets here going to try and finsish them all out. I have never done many in the nice weather always tried braining in the winter and using wood heat and fans to help get things to the finish. I was supposed to do some this summer but you know Summer got in the way. That's the plan. :o Later Bob

Ahh that's great now when you start achin a little I have found your soft spot  >:D >:D
All kiddin aside I now see how this mania can grow on ya. So far, even if I didn't go any further
I will have at least 27-28 sq ft of raw hide, if my freeser don't puke while I am away from home.
To bad we aren't closer, working and spinnin in the same area would make it more enjoyable. :)
Might have to start an annual TAN IN ;D ;D Keep us posted on your progress. Be rootin for ya

Well,  I am now fleshed out myself. I won't  speculate just post photos.
and describe. I fleshed both sides best I could with the trailer strap.
The hair side neck area is a killer, so I drained and sqweeged the hide.
rolled it up and froze till later.
