Jonjon79 13,358 Posted January 19, 2020 Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 Nice one Daniel It's good to see someone make use of the pelt. I think most of us on here only use the edible bits. 1 1 Quote Link to post

Furrosious ferreter 499 Posted January 19, 2020 Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 If you mean breaking the leather as in making it softer. I use a small block of soft wood rubbed on it while wet. Then while watching tv just keep playing with it rolling it in your hands. I stretch mine out first and pin the to a board then scrap the fleshy bits off with the back of a knife after a couple a days. Then i mainly use them as dummy covers. My jrt loves them.
