Anybody know how to make one ? I am just about finished with a fur that has actually turned out pretty good. And I'd like to know how to make a hat out of it. The right way. Hell I might even wear the dang thing. (Against my wife's will !!)

I've heard cheap easy way to go is scrapping as best you can and perserving with a clear brand antifreeze. Known folks that done it on hides.
For rattlesnakes use 1 part glycerin and one part alcohol 70-90%. I've got two on the wall my son and I did over the summer
