Been toying with the thought of doing one for a while and finally got around to it. The beaver is a small one that I caught, fleshed and dried. I then sent it off and had it professionally tanned at one of the biggest tanneries in the US, Moyles in Idaho. The hoop was cut from a willow on the pond behind my house. The leather lacing came from a vendor at a trapping convention and I laced it all together. It is 33" tall by 22" wide. Now I am thinking about tackling one a whole lot bigger that I would have to lash two willow whips together to hold it.
