It is not to hard to do, just takes a bit of time and patience.

If you get one from Abe at Cari-bow he includes very detailed instructions.

anyone ever take a fresh beaver tail and do it yourself? I am a taxidermist/trapper and trapped a very large beaver not long ago. I am going to use a repro tail when I mount it so I might try to make a grip out of the real one.

we will see how it turns out????
