Tan Rat

Well I finished the Rat today, and she turned out pretty well. I had some problems with her tail when I was splitting it during the skinning process, I split the skin but didn't realize that about two inches of it didn't have a bone in it. That part was pulled off. Crap, but stuff happens. Then after it was tanned and I was making it soft and  flexible, I broke another little bit off, by being to aggressive with the process of breaking down the drying fibers. Sigh! She still looks good and feels amazing, but still, their tails are quite striking.
