just got it

[Boothill Bob]

Hello..
I've just got my rattler skin, wonder what I'll make of it..
Are they gona be thin as paper?

BB,

It depends on the size of the rattler, but a very distinctive hatband comes to mind ... especially if the rattle is left on ... that way, every time you turn your head, people will take notice ...*S*

But I am only half kidding ... a rattlesnake skin DOES make a nice hat band ... have seen them and wished they were mine ....

TTFN,

I have made several holsters and knife sheaths with inlaid rattler skin

[Boothill Bob]

Mine is thin and dry like paper, shell they be that way or can I oil the backside

BB . . . . . I hope it's luckier for you than it was for the snake!
