I suck at boarding my first one looked like a diamond shape that’s 100% better than I did on my first. I use wire hoops they are just easier for me to use.
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

Looks good,industry standard is nails 1 inch apart.Give or take a quarter inch. Nail spacing doesnt matter if you are tanning it,but if selling they measure the shortest part of the scallops. You can lose a size grade by having too few nails.

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

In the future if you plan to do a lot more beaver, get yourself a brad nail gun. I did after I lost a thumbnail. Your first try looks better than my first try did. You will improve the more you do.
The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never let the dumbest ones lead the pack.
