Rattlesnake Skin (Tanning Update)

[sbrmike]

If they are not all hard and brittle, they may come around. I am by no means an expert.

I've got a few skins from years ago, that I scraped & salted.
Lost cause?

Are they dried and rolled up? You can soften them up again by soaking them in water for a few minutes.

They've been dry as a dog bone, for years.

Mark Twain said its bad luck to touch a snake skin so I leave them alone.

Thanks for all the help..... it came out good for a first attempt.....soft and supple.
If another chance at tanning.... thinking a few lack of attention to details can be corrected.

Now, what to do with it? Have a friend with an upholstery shop who will gladly assist.....way too short for a belt, maybe a hat band or holster decoration?

Thanks again..
