I got some good advice on this very old skin, a couple of coats of linseed oil and its becoming quite striking and more flexible as well. I have a good feeling about this hide, as old as it is and so unusual. I think after a few coats of wax it will be rather stunning.

 
The before pic, looks rather emaciated now eh?
 
Man - I hope you can get what you want from that hide. Cool stuff, Dwayne ! ;)
