very nice job newbie.. only thing I can see is that the pelt needs to be rotated a little to the left

For what it is worth, I use 1 5/8 inch drywall nails. Not the junk ones from box stores, the good kind from a drywall supplier. They are coated to prevent rusting and extremely sharp (so a guy hanging board can stick it in quickly and with little effort without it falling out when he lifts the sheet). The coating does just that too-prevents rust. I lift all my hides and allow the nails to tilt naturally if needed. It aids in drying especially where I am now.

Once It's off the board It won't make any difference. LOL
