Does anybody have any ideas what to do with a beaver tail? I'v heard of wallets but not sure where to send it for a wallet, looking for ideas?

Both Grit Guy and Randy Shuff make items from beaver tails.

Wallets, check book covers, key ring fobs, lots of other small leather items. With a bit of experimenting they could probably make iPhone covers!!

Flyswatter?

Yep.....belts , suspenders, hatbands, maybe even steering wheel covers

breathin to much cold air I guess But that's funny

This is a leather cell phone case. I like them because they protect the phone and you don't pocket dial etc.. A beaver cell phone flexible case would be awesome.

Most tail projects need a backer of some sort due to the tail being flexible to the extent that it could break if pushed or bent to far, after being tanned.

The can take large round bends fairly well and smaller ones if a good backer is there, say a heavier leather underneath like a wallet which has several pockets.

You can use tail material back to back and have it fairly stout, but them kernels like to break if pushed to far, and then you cannot fix that.

Hand grips, wallets, belts, dress boots, vest's, various types of gun belts/scabbards and knife sheaths, bow handles and length decorations, most anything you can sew, stitch or lace or glue the tail to that is not to overly flexible will work, these are just some ideas,

The difficult part is cutting the tail to the shape to make it look nice and lay correctly, especially on curved things.

You could make BTO

How can I get a hold of them?

I recently finished a leather game bag for my small game hunting and added a bit of tanned beaver tail from the first beaver I ever caught. I have some other ideas for using tail leather as accents on a leather quiver I plan to make some day but haven't had time to finish. I also think a belt buckle would be nice, simple but functional beauty.

Really really Nice!

Wambli, that is a work of art!

Snowy, did you make that?

Wambli >>> very nice!

Pawnee >>> no, I didn't but I could can see one built from a tail, though.

Snowy, I could see it too.

Great idea! I can barely write my name, much less make something like that

How about a ceiling fan that would be original. Antler and beaver tail..
