re: Completed my rattlesnake board mount

Skinned it & stapled scaled side down to a board before coating with salt. Let it sit indoors under a fan for three days before wiping off the salt. Lastly, cut it off the board and applied a coat of 50% denatured alcohol & 50% glycerin to make it supple before letting it sit another three days. Then, mounted on the board.

One note, I would have preferred to use a cedar fence picket but they would have to special order anything over a 1x6x6, and I was too impatient and opted for yellow pine.

I forgot to mention that my dog is now wary of going into my office. He usually hangs under my desk while I'm working, but now he smells the skin and catches a glimpse of it on the wall every once in a while. Comical, really.
