I Need a Whip Stitch Glis

<< < (3/4) > >>

Hawkdancer:
Zuma,
Those are instructions for left handed stitches >:D!  Right handed stitches are the opposite ;D :).  Beverage may be held in either hand, or one in each hand, but not while performing actual stitching!
Do be careful of the be rages, however!

GlisGlis:
Zuma isn't your axe a bit to little? is there a chance itcould make holes in the hide? wouldnt be better a broad hammer or a flat stone?

Ok to continue  O:)
I went back twisted and stretched the hide It was very supple so I did
not re board and beat it. :) ;D I was wearing heavy duty rubber gloves and I think
their bite against the flesh side started to pull hairs through the skin. ??? ??? :'(
When I do it again I will use bare hands. I am hoping that as the hide dries more
this will not occur again??

Perhaps Glis but I took a file to make sure the edges were rounded on the hachet.
It didn't seem to harm it at  all. Unless it has something to do with the hairs comming through.
Hard to tell.

Well it's a week and after stretching for a few more days
 I hung the hide in the garage for a few more. It was cool and dark.
It is still pretty supple but no where near pro work. This is a much
more prime fur than the one I did before. Since I didn't wash the entire
hide with detregent like I did the first, it is a bit more ripe. I may give it
a shampoo. The hair is tight so far Time and the flies will tell if I did
good or not. Balanced out the wall.
