[TheForge] Skunk parts

Thu Dec 13 09:58:00 2001

At the risk of being somewhat off topic, are there any good (preferably
online) resources on how to preserve a hide "hair-on"???  I have seen a few
on making buckskins (hair-off) but not much on preserving the pelt with the
hair still intact. 
If this is too far off topic, feel free to email me direct.

Thanks!
