Thanks Jeremy, you're a good friend, but its one of the things I do get an opportunity to do.Obviously I keep an eye on her, but it has limited my traveling these days. At least I can go on here once and a while and keep up with the industry's news.

As for that alligator - the toughest part will be fleshing it well! Use a fish fleshing knife, it allows you to dig a bit when you have to. Then salt it for 1-2 days, rinse and start the tanning process by putting it in your pickle. Tan it just like you would a Deer skin but obviously, the only part that will finish with some degree of softness (if its for a rug) is the belly area.
