So, I have wanted a couple beaver to have tanned.
I found beavers.
I can skin and flesh them.
I don't have hoops or a board.
Will it matter how I dry them if they are going to be tanned?
My idea was tack them out open so they dry properly so I can send them out.
I do want 1 to be shaped nicely. I want to make a nice wooden hoop and lash it to it and hang it on the wall.
Will they be fine so long as the pelts are dried? I am worried about the shape. But I don't know that it matters. Once they go through the tanning process, I doubt they have any different shape than if I dried them using a proper board or hoop. But figured I'd better ask since I do want 1 to display on a hoop.
Thanx!
