    I've mounted several squirrels using your techniques. I'm getting ready to do my first weasel, was planning on doing it the same way. Do I need to do anything different? Thanks for all your hep.

    How did your squirrels turn out?
    The difference between mounting squirrels and weasels would be the thinness of the weasel's skin. Be extra careful, especially with the feet and ears. Be gentle. Take extra time. It's much easier to tear the weasel's skin than a squirrels.
    Good luck. Let me know how it goes.
    Thank you. - Rick

    They turned out really good. I picked up the tube skinning technique from your video. That works great,a real common request is to mount them holding a nut. So they're setting on the seam. I'll try to send you a pic of the weasel. Thanks again

    Great to hear. I get the same request a lot for a walnut, hickory nut or acorn, or I bring it up as an option. Makes it look more realistic. You're right, no seam is visible that way.
    I'd like to see a pix of the weasel too.
    Thanks for writing in. - Rick
