The first pic looks like pieces of the tail are gone but it is just torn and and part of the tail curled underneath. Mostly fixable.

Trim the ragged tail edges with a scissor before you hoop. Fur looks good on that beaver hide.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I have been seriously considering doing the same thing you have done. Please post an update once you have them all trimmed out/complete
Just happy to be here.

Beaverpeeler... tried to send you a PM...... You're "over the limit" it says.

Did they charge extra for the tail?
Poor people have poor ways.

I had a tanned beaver tail that faded out pretty bad, so I used some Mop & Glow on it and that brought the dark color back really nice. Plus, it had a nice smell to it afterwards.

No extra charge for tail on tanning.
I will trim back my PM's, sorry muskrat.

Trim the ragged tail edges with a scissor before you hoop. Fur looks good on that beaver hide. Good idea Boco. And of course all those smaller beaver seem to have the densest nicest fur.

Again, no they do not. They also don't guarantee the tails will turn out OK. In other words they don't put any effort into making sure the tails don't get damaged in their processes.
That said, most of the tails on the 23 I sent up are fixable. Very few came out pristine.

I think I may try that. Thanks Carl! Wait I would have to trap a beaver? Never mind! Nope, you don't need to trap a beaver Jim. I got the solution...buy some off of me. Just like ol' times! LOL
