Squirrel hide shot pouch

[LymanB]

I shot a squirrel a couple weeks ago and wanted to make use of the hide. I was debating on what to use it for. Finally settled on a little pocket sized shot pouch. It holds about a pound of shot. I turned the spout out of a piece of hickory.

Very cool, you done a good job

That's pretty dang neat. Word of caution though, don't wear that where you can see it if you hunt in Kentucky. Ol ETipp might shoot it off your belt.

Nice! Gets my brain ticking on some possible projects...

A question, though.. how did you preserve the skin, and is it stiff?

I tanned the hide with eggs. It was stretched and smoked. It is very soft and pliable.

Perfectly executed

In more than one way!

Please tell us what you do to the hide to keep hair from falling out. I know nothing about tanning but would like to learn.
