All my finshed coon have been sold to a local buyer and done how he wanted them. I would like to she how you do them for a comparison. Mainly how you do it around the base of the tail and the window.

I wouldn't mind seeing some pics as well. For $1 more I don't think I'd go through the extra work and possibility of making a mistake. I'd use that time to set more traps instead.

Here is leg area.

Here are some I have finished in the last 30 days.

I just don't have any close ups.

I had some people on this site show and tell me things that sure made a difference in my put up. I now use cloths pins on the front legs to hold them open for 1 day or till they will stay open by themselves. I will sometime put them at night while finishing coons, and take them off the next morning. I pull them stight across the back area and use 6-8 pins now instead of the 4 pitcured. I do make a small window as that is what my buyer wants. I pin the tail out wide and long and use 8-10 pins. I will pin any holes closed and if I cut the hide around the pennis vent I will also pin it closed. I was told to start on the back pining, but I have found it easier to start on the front and pin to the back. I will try to take some close up pics tomorrow and show you what I am talking about.

Casey I have to ask. I can see your wedge all the way to the mouth. Is your leather that thin, or did you scrape him that thin? I can even see fur throught he leather.
