Boarding a Wolverine.

 Bryan uses small Muskrat stretches to board the big legs too.

 This is a trap swivel that Bryan has snipped off the tag.  As the hide dries it becomes hard to get the animal off the stretcher.  He just twists the swivel and out it comes.

 He uses a piece of cardboard to smooth out the lower jaw.  He does not want it to dry sticking out.

After drying in the shop for 5 hours the toes were just about dry but still shiny so he put it out side overnight. Outside drying is totally different than inside.  It is a moister air.  The 12 hours outside dried the rest of the toes and it was ready to turn. It was so easy to turn inside out.  No problem.  If it is left in a semi warm shop all night it hardens too much.
