Beautiful work. What's your wood of choice for the hoops?
57 years trapping. It's who I am. Every day is still as exciting as it was when I was a kid but a little more work.

Have you ever skinned and stretched a coon in the square way like the old timers used to?

Do you install grommet eyes into the leather for the laces,,or just punch holes in the leather and leave it at that?

Looks great, I think I will hoop a couple of my beaver when they come back from the tannery.

i add small square leather to the beaver then punch holes been doing it that way for many years now with no problem if you just punch a hole in the pelt will rip out with beaver and the stomach on them have to pull them tight Could you show a close up pic of the leather side so I can see where the laces come through?
