FPO 0 Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 Once the skin is cured, is it plyable or does it go hard and unmanageable? did something similar with a pheasant skin (feathers and all) once and it was very rigid. If the pelt does stay hard how do you go about getting it softer? Link to post Share on other sites
Hob&Jill 258 Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 (edited) I once dried out a rabbit skin, with pure salt. It went very stiff, I just rubbed, crushed, scrumpled, rolled it etc and it soon came soft and easy to handle. Took ages, as I only did it occasionally, and the Pup got hold of it and chewed it up Was going to be a toy for her anyway.... I think you can also remove the Brain of the animal and rubb it into the pelt and it will soften it, something like that anyway. Good topic this Edited May 7, 2007 by Hob&Jill Link to post Share on other sites
