The base I’ve been working on has finally reached the level of taint I wanted. Got it ground and mixed the preservative in, I’m gonna let it continue to gas off for another week before I seal it for aging. I think I have an idea of what I’m going to do with it, I have a large coyote population in my vicinity and I’m thinking that’s the direction I’m headed. Might be half a year at least before I’m able to use the finished product, and that’s if the base material gets the reactions I want. I’m partially excited and very hesitant at the same time. One he** of a hobby…

Was this the rotted down skunk?

Indeed!
