Gtbaker369 44 Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Right im no where near this stage yet but i just wanted to get a few opinions from the experienced guys. Im thinking about joining together my pelts when they are finished to make some kind of rug but i assume the question would be the same if i was to make anything. Im just wondering if people would recommend shaving a little bit of one of them, put leather glue, then over laying another etc etc. or doing the same but stitching instead of glue. or shaving bother pelt, pinching them underneath and then stitching so there will be flaps underneath? If stitching is the way to go..... With what?? Any way they are my ideas but there might be a way that everyone does and how im supposed to do it. All help and advice welcome.
