Wow. That would take so many squirrels haha.

Did he leave the hair on? Do you know if it stays on the squirrels when you brain tan? I know they make some kind of chemical that it supposed to keep the hair from slipping, but it seems like it causes metal implements and ammunition cases to corrode if they are stored inside such leather for very long. :S

I wish I could live like that. But I like the computer and modern refrigeration too much, lol. And I probably don't have the skills anymore (if I ever did at all lol) either... :P

I was kind of thinking it would be neat to lace up a case-skinned squirrel into a little neck pouch for rimfire ammunition, with the tail left hanging on the flap. Maybe pull some wooden or bone or antler beads onto it or something, assuming it's possible to skin out the tails and remove the bone... Never tried that...

I think the belly leather might be too thin, though.... One might have to trim that out and fold the back over and lace up the sides hmmmmm.... I dunno. I wish I knew more about leatherworking. :3
