Marten..Part 3.Splitting tail, Boarding and Pinning

Split the tail and put fur on a stretcher.  Put in belly board.  It takes about 30 pins to stretch it onto the Marten Board.    All boards including Marten are designed to exact measurements.  Contact your fur Auction handler to get these .  Male and female marten take 2 different sizes of boards.

    Nice job Bryan, I hope you get get lots to stretch. For a belly board my friends use a cattail reed, they peel the stalk till all is left is the inner piece. They then dry it out and it has the perfect taper for Marten or Mink boards.
