Marten skin being thin they are easy to sew. Go to a bead store and get some thin ‘nymo’ which I think is beading thread, and some beading needles (not super long or thin ones but something that looks like it will work) which are thin and pass thru without cutting. Glovers needles have a cutting point and work well while beading needles make the smallest hole possible. That said there is no need to turn anything going to the tannery, except of course if you want to admire it!
you can vote your way into socialism, but you will have to shoot your way out.

Expedites the drying process.

I do exactly like Yukon Jeff on every skin including wolf. Makes turning skins a breeze. I also use 3 keys on the skin when replaced on the board after turning to prevent sticking and promote drying.One in the belly and two in the back.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.
