I want BEAVER Tail!

[Whiskey River]

Does anyone have a good source for beaver tail to use for inlays?

Thanks!

Both are good people to work with. No matter who you buy from be sure and find out if the tail is tanned or not - untanned is completely usable as long as you be sure any fat or flesh is completely cleaned off and then dry it in a mix of salt and/or boraxo. No matter what it will fairly stiff as all beavertail is whether tanned or not and you will probably have to drill holes - kind of like rayskin can be.

Here's a couple of my sheaths with beaver tail inlays:

Geez Paul, I didn't know the sheath was made for that one yet. Beautiful. I haven't seen that stamped pattern before. Nice.
