Possum Skin

Post by jon buck »

Not had one of these before, any suggestions how to mount it. The customer said he would like it float mounted. I had thought about using my tack gun but it is not like a fabric so the holes will not spring back.
There is no value to the poor beast.

Many thanks

I would put a few stitches it. The fur should hide them. I would also make sure the frame is well sealed as there are lots of little creepy-crawlies that like to eat such things.
