Finished my rattle snake skin

[Cuz]

I killed this rattle snake about a month or so ago and wanted to display it someway in my mancave.
I just skinned it, stretched it, scrapped it, salted & boraxed it and let it sit for a couple weeks. Then glued it to a 1x4.
Never mind the holes from my .40 cal. It'll work and you can't beat the price!

what did you attach it to the board with?

[G-Man]

The last one I shot had a few holes in the side of it too. Good looking skin.

what did you attach it to the board with?

I use a THIN layer of gorilla glue then use a paint scraper to smooth it out on the skin before laying it on the board. Then put a few boards on it to weigh it down while the glue settles.
