Rattlesnake skin ?

Submitted by Greg on 05/26/2004 at 17:04. ( ) 4.225.2.153

I have a customer that wants a rattlesnake skin stretched on a board
she is having a guy make the board and paint it for her and then have me stretch the skin, the skin has been tanned so I'm told, so how would i do it, is the skin fragile, should it be glued or tacked, should there be material between the board and skin, I have a week to come up with something any ideas would be well appriciated thanks!

Tack it

Since it is going on a board I would tack it. The skin sould be pretty duriable if tanned right.
