Title: Tanned snake skins
Post by: Harmless on February 10, 2008, 08:16:00 AM
Where could a guy pick up some tanned snake skins. I'v tried 3-Rivers but they only have Dryed skins. I'm looking for some, for a quiver I want to build. Thanks..

Tandy leather carries tanned snakeskins.  G--gle them as you can purchase on-line.  :thumbsup:

You can glue the dried skins on leather and make a quiver out of it. Use contact cement(Barge, etc) on the leather and the skin, let it dry for a few minutes and attach the two together. Be warned, once the two pieces touch, they are STUCK!     Pat
