They were skinned and stretched exactly like beaver pelts except they were stretched round not oval.The ones I did were around 4 inches by 4 inches. I have tanned a couple,no problem in the tanning process.Very much like velvet. Last edited by Boco; 12/31/24 12:18 AM. Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.
