    I have a tanning recipe given to me by the local taxidermist if you'd like to try that.
    Doubt the lady of the house is gonna mind at all ,thats a lovely skin (bit jealous really)
    Most certainly! Post it up or pm if you prefer .

    My understanding is that this method is preserving rather than tanning but i have been wrong before.

    Chris - can you send me the recipe. I have got a Fallow skin in the freezer from about 3 years ago. Not too sure how to do it or if it is still ok. Going by VC's, it should still be ok.

    That thought is bloody scary. Thanks Dougie. Not!
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Chris I wouldn't mind the recipe too if that's ok. I've got a salted skin to do.

    Looking good VC

    Gave it a light go over with the belt sander then a very rough trim round the edges.
    The bits that were wrapped round the ply cos it was to small are obviously set like that.
    Undecided were to go from here. Don't really want to work it as i want it stiff for the wall
